The Gas Well Optimization Program provides solutions from simple timers to complete artificial lift and self-optimizing routines. It offers a number of different control modes designed to achieve an increase in production volumes. The multiple control modes are user-selectable within one program, keeping programming and re-programming costs to a minimum.

Depending on the mode selected, control functions utilize timers, gas flow rate, well pressure, plunger arrival data or a combination of methods to achieve results.
A typical multiple-mode optimization routine would contain the following sub-routines:

• Production time on vs. production time off (timer)
• Critical flow vs. time off
• Critical flow vs. casing – tubing differential pressure
• Casing – tubing differential pressure vs. time off
• Critical flow vs. casing pressure
• Load factor
• Self optimization
