Does a clothes iron generate enough heat to activate heat-shrink tubing?

IT probably would but you would have to make direct contact which might cause the heat-shrink to shrink unevenly or get flattened. It is usually better to blow hot air at it while you rotate it. A good hair dryer might work equally well. ------ Neither a hair dryer, nor a clothes dryer will work for shrinking most conventional heat shrink tubing. The most common types: PVC and Polyolefin require temperatures of greater than 100C (the boiling point of water). A clothes iron will; however you'll melt the tubing with direct contact, and it will mess up your iron. If you don't own a heat gun, you'll be fine using a cigarette lighter.

What is gas lift?

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.
