Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to the field of artificial lift and safety valves for hydrocarbon producing wells. More specifically, the invention relates to fluid injection devices that can be retrofit into an existing subsurface safety valve landing nipple.
  • Oil wells that produce for an extended period of time typically will require artificial lift to be able to continue to produce oil when natural reservoir pressure is no longer sufficient to lift the oil to the Earth's surface.
  • One such artificial lift technique is to inject gas into the produced fluid, so-called "gas lift", which assists the lifting of the produced fluids by lowering their effective density. By lowering the effective density of the produced fluid, less hydrostatic pressure is exerted against the producing formation, thereby enabling pressure remaining in the reservoir to move the produced fluid to the surface.
