More oil for less
In a typical well, up to 5% of production shortfall can be attributed to gas lift operational inefficiencies. Automated Gas Lift Optimization solutions from Sensia ensure responses in minutes not days. With Automated Gas Lift Optimization you will reduce production shortfalls, reduce the quantity of gas that you use, and reduce manual interventions.
Well processes are continuous. But surveillance, interventions and optimization are still carried out manually in most cases, and therefore intermittently. Valves are set, but not onstantly controlled, and this inevitably means that operators are injecting suboptimal amounts of gas than is actually required to maximize the flow rate of reservoir liquids.

Complete control. Faster response times.
By automating gas lift optimization – rather than intervening manually – your response to events happens in minutes rather than days. As well as reducing production shortfalls, management time will be freed up to improving the business, rather than firefighting day-to-day issues. We’ve shown in recent field trials that manual interventions can be reduced by up to 85%.
What differentiates Sensia from the competition?
Our software system is designed for the production engineer. The user interface to Sensia’s ConnectedProduction provides for each well; nodal analysis, pressure & temperature profiles, performance curves, key performance indicators, gas lift diagnostics, estimated production rates and real time data. It can astride an existing SCADA system that it exchanges data with or function by itself an automation host.
You can trust the ConnectedProduction on day one knowing that in addition to its own capabilities that behind the scene it is using the proven well flow simulations of Schlumberger’s Pipesim software. Also behind the scene is Sensia’s Avocet software managing your data.
The Sensia Gas Lift automation software system has been engineered as and tested as a purpose-built software bundle
Avalon
Achieve optimized gas production
Avalon IT/OT core platform provides powerful data gathering, contextualization, visualization and analytics functions. It allows operators to monitor current and historical parameters from gas lift facilities and to send revised optimization flow targets to the flow computers at the well site.
Operators can do that on a centralized location or wherever they are located. As the Avalon platform is offered On-premise or In The Cloud.

Measurement base system
Gas Lift Data Gathering
Available as either a mechanical or digital based system both rely on wellhead visits to collect gas injection history and to manually adjust the choke to set the injection flow rate. These packages derive much of their ultra-low CAPEX status from the fact that onsite power generation or other utilities are not required. Both systems are proven to be robust with tens of thousands of deployments using both BARTON measurement technology and NUFLO measurement technology.
Surveillance based system
Automated Gas Lift Remote Surveillance
Fast centralized indication of unexpected problems, automatic data collection by any SCADA software or Sensia’s own Connected Production oil & gas digitalization platform. NUFLO Scanners connect to Modbus systems while Sensia’s QRATE Scanners with MQTT supporting cloud-based connectivity or by Modbus.
Easily upgradable to remote control as both Scanner series have PID throttling control capabilities.
Optimized control system
Automated Gas Lift Optimization
ConnectedProduction is Sensia’s digitization platform providing powerful data gathering, contextualization, visualization, diagnostic, optimization, and analytics functions. It allows operators to monitor current and historical parameters from gas lift assets and to send revised optimization flow targets to the flow computers at the well site. Operators can do this from a centralized location or wherever they are located. This integrated platform is offered On-premise or In The Cloud.
