) From the nodal analysis, a rapid decline in the well production rate is seen with an increase in the water

cut. This decline reflects the increase in flowing BHP due to the presence of higher density water in the
tubing. (2) An increase in the gas injection rate produces a growth in the oil rate as the average fluid
density above the injection point drops down considerably. (3) A decrease in the oil production rate is
caused by an increase in the WHP for a constant rate of gas-lift gas injection. The pressure drop available
for inflow of fluid and subsequent movement towards the surface facilities is hampered by the back
pressure caused by the WHP. This emphasizes the role of reduction in the WHP in improving the wells
output potential during the mature phase of reservoir development

ial lift, surface pipe and separation equipment as a system. Hydrocarbon production will only be possible
at the expense of the pressure drop from the reservoir to the separator [6,7]. It is therefore necessary to
find the optimal drawdown pressure From Figure 4, the increased of the flow line diameter induces the
increased of the production flow rate y. From the results obtained, an observation is made that by
increasing flow line diameter and decreasing wellhead pressure induced the increased of production
flow rate.
