2. Design a gas lift installation for the following conditions:

Tubing 3.958 in
Required Production Rate 3000 stb/d
Water Cut 0%
Gas Oil Ratio 200 scf/stb
Gas Specific Gravity 0.65

Average Flowing Temperature 150 F
Reservoir Productivity Index 4 bpd/psi
Reservoir Depth 12,000 ft
Reservoir Pressure 3800 psi
Lift Gas Injection Gradient 30 psi/1000 ft

configuration described? (3 marks)
