English term or phrase: gas lift
Definition from Petex and the University of Texas Austin:
The process of raising or lifting fluid from a well by injecting gas down the well through tubing or through the tubing-casing annulus. Injected gas aerates the fluid to make it exert less pressure than the formation does; the resulting higher formation pressure forces the fluid out of the wellbore. Gas may be injected continuously or intermittently, depending on the producing characteristics of the well and the arrangement of the gas-lift equipment.

Example sentence(s):
  • The use of gas lift is not limited to wells incapable of natural flow; in many applications offshore on the UK Continental Shelf, gas lift is applied to naturally flowing wells to accelerate production. More than 20 manned installations have one or more gas lifted production wells drilled from the installation. Health and Safety Executive - UK
  • The proper measurement of production in marginal fields and new developments to optimize gas lift operations is a very important factor in the oil industry. The enhanced allocation of gas lift wells can result in immediate production payback by increasing each well production versus the injection ratio through real time well data readings. Egypt Oil & Gas
  • As the industry seeks to extend its ability to develop marginal offshore oil reserves profitably, fields requiring gas lift to generate sufficient oil production often pose a sizable challenge. Gas lift in subsea wells, using injected gas from surface, requires extensive infrastructure – the cost of which can render a marginal field uneconomic to develop. Scandinavian Oil-Gas Online

gaslift
Definition:
Een gaslift of airlift is een techniek waarbij een vloeistof verplaatst wordt via een verticale buis waar onderin de vloeistof en een gas instromen. Het gas wordt onder druk toegevoerd.Het mengsel van vloeistof en gas in de buis maakt de vloeistofkolom lichter waardoor een stroming van onder naar boven ontstaat.

Definition from Wikipedia:
Een gaslift of airlift is een techniek waarbij een vloeistof verplaatst wordt via een verticale buis waar onderin de vloeistof en een gas instromen. Het gas wordt onder druk toegevoerd.Het mengsel van vloeistof en gas in de buis maakt de vloeistofkolom lichter waardoor een stroming van onder naar boven ontstaat.

Example sentence(s):
  • Bij een gaslift wordt gas in een (aard)olieput geïnjecteerd om de productie te stimuleren. Het mengsel van olie en gas in de put maakt de vloeistofkolom lichter waardoor bij gelijkblijvende druk in het reservoir de productie op gang komt of toeneemt. Bovengronds wordt het gas van de olie gescheiden en na compressie deels opnieuw geïnjecteerd. - Wikipedia  
  • Tegenwoordig doen ze het met ondergrondse pompen of met de zogenaamde gas-lift. Onder in de productiebuis wordt dan gas geïnjecteerd. De oliekolom wordt zo lichter en de olie stroomt makkelijker door de productiebuis naar boven. - schoolbieb.nl  
  • Principe van vloeistofbelasting met gaslift. - TNO
