CO2 Tracer Technology for Surveillance of Gas Lifted Wells

CO2 tracer technology is a low cost effective method to quikly and reliably check if a gas lifted well is producing at its optimum conditions.

Actually, the CO2 tracer survey would detect the operating lift depth, multiple points of injection, tubing leaks.
