The surface-controlled Synthetix™ hydraulic gas lift system transforms gas lift from a passive system into an actively controlled production optimization platform, helping operators improve lift performance and adapt to changing well conditions with confidence.

With conventional gas lift systems, as reservoir pressure declines or operating conditions fluctuate, the active injection point is difficult to determine, which can reduce lift efficiency. Moreover, pressure losses across conventional valves restrict the amount of energy available to lift fluids. The patented Synthetix system improves performance by replacing passive pressure-driven behavior with direct hydraulic control of downhole valves from surface. Operators can intentionally sequence valves, control injection depth, and manage gas delivery with greater precision, improving confidence in where lift is occurring and reducing uncertainty during startup, optimization, and changing well conditions.
