Pneumatic Pumps

• Pneumatic pumping is used to increase or allow oil

costs.

• The column of fluid in the well.

• Pneumatic pumping systems can.

• Many fields have high RGA zones.

Example of a reservoir in which the intelligent BN is used

BN continuous

Where gas is continuously injected

into the fluid column to be lifted under
continuous flow conditions.

♦BN intermittent

Gas is injected cyclically

into the fluid column.
