Gas-lift oil production continues to be actively implemented at the Goturdepe oil and gas field in the western region of Turkmenistan, contributing to improved production and efficient use of natural resources, according to the Neutral Turkmenistan newspaper.
Goturdepe, one of the oldest fields in the country, has been in development since the 1960s. Previously, production was primarily carried out using a flowing method, but in recent years, priority has been given to modern technologies, including gas-lift.
A modern gas compressor station has been commissioned at the field as part of its modernization. This has enabled more than 400 wells to be converted to gas-lift production. This method utilizes associated gas, which, after purification and compression, is injected into the wells, lifting oil to the surface.
This technology allows for a consistent increase in daily well flow rates. The Goturdepe oil and gas production department of the Nebitgazchykarysh trust, part of the State Concern Turkmennebit, operates the facilities.
The gas compressor station, with a capacity of up to 12 million cubic meters of gas per day, is operating normally and is equipped with automated control systems.
Experts note that further infrastructure development and drilling of new wells in the western region of the country will strengthen Turkmenistan's energy potential and expand its export opportunities.
