Abstract
A system and a method for the artificial pneumatic production of oil and gas which is self-supplied is provided. The well's originating gas separates in a skid of separation of oil and after gas is rectified, gas is injected again into the well; the gas injection is made to a pressure enough to lift the oil-gas mixture inside the well. The excess of gas is exhausted toward the closer processing station.
Claims15
A portable pneumatic system for artificial production of oil wells including production pipes, the system comprising:
- a separating skid including at least one oil and gas separation equipment and a first rectifying device connected to the oil and gas separation equipment, the oil and gas separation equipment separately measures an oil flow and a gas flow;
- a compression skid including a second rectifying device located near an input of the compression skid and at least one compressor located downstream of the second rectifying device;
- and
- auxiliary subsystems to supply energy to the system and electric facilities;
- wherein the oil and gas separation equipment is connected to the first rectifying device by using a first pipeline having a valve;
- wherein the separating skid is connected to the compression skid by using a second pipeline including a gas excess control valve and a series of regulating valves.

- a compression skid including a second rectifying device located near an input of the compression skid and at least one compressor located downstream of the second rectifying device;
- auxiliary subsystems to supply energy to the system and electric facilities;
- a flexible piping connected to the well to introduce the gas, the flexible piping having a diameter smaller than a diameter of a casing on the well;
- wherein the oil and gas separation equipment is connected to the first rectifying device by using a first pipeline having a valve;
- wherein the separating skid is connected to the compression skid by using a second pipeline including a gas excess control valve and a series of regulating valves;
- wherein the second pipeline includes a first diameter matching a diameter of an output on the separating skid, then continues with a second diameter that is bigger than the first diameter, and ends with a third diameter that matches a diameter of an input on the compressor, the third diameter is the same or smaller than the first diameter.
