Emerson, Interwell introduce retrievable electric gas lift system
Emerson and Interwell have launched the Adaptive Gas Lift System( AGLS), the world’ s first retrievable electric gas lift system designed to meet internationally recognised safety and performance standards. The AGLS enables continuous optimisation of oil production without the need for invasive and costly well interventions. Conventional gas lift systems typically optimise production during the early life of a well, when tubing pressure is high. However, as reservoir conditions evolve, drawdown efficiency decreases and oil output can decline, often leading to overinjection |
or under-injection of lift gas. Traditional injection pressure operated( IPO) valves require reducing casing pressure to close, which limits injection depth and production. Manipulating casing pressure and managing temperaturerelated uncertainties in valve behaviour also frequently causes multi-pointing, where gas is injected at unintended depths, leading to inefficiencies and lost production. Addressing these challenges usually necessitates complex and costly well interventions to adjust valve port sizes or change injection depths. |
The Adaptive Gas Lift System transforms gas lift operations by providing real-time remote control of valve port sizes, gas injection rates, injection depths, and drawdown, without |
interrupting production. Because valve closure does not rely on reducing casing pressure, deeper injection is achievable, improving lifting efficiency over the life of the well. |

Canfield Gatormate GTMC Deutsch Style Duo Connector
Canfield Connector has announced the launch of the GatorMate GTMC Deutsch Style Duo Connector, a high-performance connectivity solution designed to simplify wiring for double solenoid hydraulic valves while enhancing durability and performance in extreme environments. Engineered for versatility and built to withstand the toughest industrial and mobile conditions, the GTMC system brings a new level of efficiency to valve wiring. It features a single multipaired cable that connects to the first solenoid via a rugged DT0 2-pin Deutsch connector and then jumps power and signal to the second solenoid through a compact GT 180 connector.
This design significantly reduces cable bulk, minimises installation time, and eliminates unnecessary connections— without sacrificing reliability. The GatorMate GTMC is fully customizable, available in various cable lengths to meet diverse application needs. For added functionality and protection, both connectors can be equipped with indicator lights and surge suppression options.
Chaoda USA introduces forged-steel gate valve
