Oil is one of the world’s most valuable resources. Most of oil companies always plan for field development to optimize oil production rate. Artificial lift methods continue to be crucial for optimizing oil production. More than 90% of the world’s oil wells are on some kind of artificial lift. Most of wells will need some form of artificial lift, since the technology accelerates and replaces natural well reservoir flow. Gas lift and electrical submersible pump (ESP) are two kinds of artificial lift used to increase the oil production rate and extend the lifetime of wells. The principle of gas lift is by injecting a certain amount of gas into the well to reduce the pressure drop along the tubing by lightening oil density. On the other hand, the principle of ESP is by increasing the discharge pressure so the well can overcome the pressure drop along the vertical tubing. <br /> <br /> <br /> In this study, the process was combining continuous gas lift and ESP into one field and done by integrating the system started from subsurface such as reservoir modelling, well location determination and optimization, and well testing to surface such as optimizing the network, designing ESP and gas lift, and economic evaluation. The simulators which were used were PETREL, PIPESIM, ECLIPSE, and field planning tool (FPT). By comparing the production and economic parameter for both natural flow and combination of gas lift and ESP application scenario, will be shown that the combination of gas lift and ESP application is better to be applied in this field. Besides, this result will be compared with other artificial lift methods which were applied in the same field.
