ABSTRACT <br /> <br /> <br /> Artificial lift is commonly deployed after natural flow due to insufficient reservoir energy to lift the oil into the surface. To select the best artificial lift implemented, usually the company deems several selection criteria which is widely used in petroleum industry. However, when there are plenty of options to apply the type of artificial lift, disorientation might arise regarding which type is supposed to be implemented in the field. In this scenario, it is not wise to select the type randomly because the performance of artificial lift varies technically and economically based on field characteristic. <br /> <br /> <br /> This study will focus comparing the scenario field development of tight sandstone reservoir in Field X between natural flowing and continuous limited gas lift scenario simulation. Gas lift is one of artificial lift methods used to increase the production of the well by injecting gas into the tubing by mean to decrease the well flowing pressure. The result of the study will be compared to another pre-existing artificial lift study, Electric Submersible Design and the combination of ESP and Gas lift, technically and economically. <br /> <br /> <br /> The study is done by conducting comprehensive simulation integrating the system encompasses to subsurface model and surface facilities. The combination of commercial simulations starting from Petrel, Pipesim, Eclipse, and Field Planning Tool (FPT) are used to integrate the designing process. By comparing the economic and technical parameter of each scenario, it shows that continuous gas lift implementation in the field achieve the best result technically. Nonetheless, the best economic field plan of development is the combination scenario between ESP and gas lift.
