Best Answer

Gas lift is a method used in increasing the production of oil from a well by injecting gas after the inherent pressure in the well must have dropped after a fairly long time(this is a function of the well dynamics ).

Gas gotten from the well along with the oil is removed through separators and compressed before re-injection into the tubing casing annulus.

The gas enters into the tubing through gas mandrels on the tubing strings and through a gas valve. The gas aerates the fluid and makes it less dense thereby reducing its viscosity and this makes the formation pressure push out more fluid.

Why do aeroplanes fly further with more wings?

The larger the wing, the more lift the airplane gets, as a general rule of thumb. When you have more lift, you can slow down and not waste as much gas. If you have more gas, you can fly some more.
