ABSTRACT:
Optimizing the production of well fluids from a well by controlling the injection gas flow rate. Determining the time delay for various gas flow rates to produce a constant liquid flow rate and determining the relationship between the injection gas flow rate and the amount of liquids produced and calculating the required injection gas flow rate to produce a selected amount of liquids. Thereafter the gas flow rate is adjusted considering the determined time delays to reach the required injection gas flow rate without injecting more gas than is needed.
