The Gas Lift Excellence Course gives production engineers, petroleum engineers, and well intervention professionals a comprehensive, technically rigorous ten-day programme covering every dimension of gas lift technology from fluid dynamics fundamentals and valve selection, through system design, mandrel installation, operations, troubleshooting, and optimisation, to advanced applications in unconventional reservoirs and HPHT environments.
Gas lift is one of the most widely applied artificial lift methods in the oil and gas industry — and its performance is directly determined by the depth of technical knowledge behind its design, installation, and operational management. Professionals who understand gas lift comprehensively — from valve mechanics and injection depth optimisation to diagnostic troubleshooting and data-driven production optimisation — consistently deliver better well performance and lower lifting costs.
This ten-day course addresses that knowledge end-to-end. Delegates move progressively through the complete gas lift lifecycle building foundational understanding before advancing to system design, real-time optimisation, advanced diagnostic techniques, and emerging applications. Case studies, hands-on exercises, and practical optimisation sessions are integrated throughout every module.
The Gas Lift Excellence Training is built for professionals who want mastery — not just familiarity — with gas lift systems, and who want to apply that mastery to deliver measurable improvements in production performance and artificial lift efficiency.
The Gas Lift Excellence Course is designed to develop complete, end-to-end gas lift technical capability — from system fundamentals and valve selection through design, installation, operations, troubleshooting, optimisation, and advanced applications.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
The Gas Lift Excellence Training is designed for production engineers, petroleum engineers, well intervention professionals, and operations specialists who work with gas lift systems and want to develop a technically complete, practically grounded mastery of gas lift design, operations, and optimisation.

The Gas Lift Excellence Course is delivered as a ten-day intensive programme structured in a logical, progressive sequence building foundational gas lift knowledge in the first five days before advancing to operational management, troubleshooting, optimisation, and advanced applications in days six through ten. Each day addresses a distinct technical domain within the gas lift discipline — ensuring delegates develop both depth and breadth across the complete subject.
Practical valve selection exercises, mandrel installation demonstrations, troubleshooting case studies, optimisation software applications, and HPHT and unconventional reservoir case studies are integrated throughout ensuring every technical concept is grounded in practical application.

Common questions about our training courses
This course is designed for production engineers, petroleum engineers, well intervention professionals, operations engineers, reservoir engineers, and asset managers who work with gas lift systems and want to develop a technically complete, practically grounded mastery of gas lift design, operations, troubleshooting, and optimisation. It is suitable for both experienced professionals deepening their gas lift technical knowledge and those newer to artificial lift who want a comprehensive, rigorous foundation across the full gas lift discipline.
Day 3 dedicates full focus to gas lift valve types and selection covering continuous, intermittent, and conventional valve types, the criteria that determine which valve is appropriate for different well conditions and production objectives, and installation and maintenance considerations. Delegates complete practical valve selection exercises that build the structured decision-making capability needed to specify the right valve for each application — a fundamental gas lift engineering skill.
Day 8 covers gas lift optimisation strategies in full — examining how to optimise production across a gas lift well portfolio, how to select the most appropriate artificial lift strategy for different well conditions, and how data analysis and data-driven optimisation techniques are applied to maximise production efficiency. Delegates also develop practical familiarity with software tools used for gas lift optimisation giving them the capability to apply digital tools to production improvement decisions.
Day 2 covers fluid dynamics fundamentals specifically in the context of gas lift — examining fluid properties and behaviour in production tubing, gas-liquid flow regimes, flow patterns, pressure drop calculations, and the key performance factors that determine how effectively gas lift lifts fluids to surface. Delegates develop the analytical foundation to understand why gas lift performs the way it does and what physical parameters drive the performance changes they observe in their wells.
Day 4 covers gas lift system design principles in full — examining the factors that influence system design, tubing and casing design considerations, and how optimal injection depth and gas injection rates are determined. Delegates work through case studies that apply these principles to real design scenarios — leaving with a clear, structured approach to gas lift system design that balances production performance, equipment limitations, and field-wide injection gas availability.
Day 9 covers advanced gas lift applications examining how gas lift is applied in unconventional reservoir environments where rapid decline rates and low reservoir pressures create specific design and operational challenges, and how HPHT conditions affect gas lift valve selection, system design, and operational management. Delegates also evaluate advances in gas lift valve technology that are expanding the envelope of where and how gas lift can be applied effectively.
