Systems and methods for producing a well using a gas are disclosed herein. A compressed lift gas can be provided to a well to obtain a production stream. The production stream can be separated to obtain the product and a recycle gas stream. The recycle gas stream can be immediately recompressed for use as lift gas, or separated to form a lift gas stream, and a power stream containing natural gasses from the well. The lift gas stream is recycled for use as lift gas, while the power stream can be transported and/or collected for sale, recycled for use as lift gas, or consumed as power for the compressor, based on measurements obtained throughout the system, coupled with practical and economic variables. By supplementing or replacing generated lift gas and/or an external power source with natural gas from the well, the present systems and methods can become self-contained after start-up.

System and method for producing a well using a gas

For the safety and convenience of personnel working on upper portions of a blowout preventer stack (), a work platform () is supported at the midheight of the stack. The platform has a main support structure () which is affixable to central connection flanges in the stack. Auxiliary support members () are releasably affixable to arms () of the main structure, and to them are releasably affixable separate personnel support deck units (). Guard rails () can be connected to the deck units. The platform is modular for easy mounting and demounting to the stack. The platform's main support structure () can be a long term element of the stack if desired.
