Mathematical simulation and control of gas lift

Simulation and control for a gas lift well with account of real processes in flow columns and in the oil bed is considered. The proposed equations of gas and gas-liquid mixture motion in tubing are reduced using the averaging method to the form of ordinary differential equations applicable for formulation and solution of the control problem for this process. Using the results of numerical experiments with application of the proposed algorithm, the adequacy of the model to the real process is demonstrated.
