The factor of the productive formation operation (well productivity factor) is considered in the proposed method of optimization. The proposed method was applied to five gas lift operated wells on Guneshli oil field (Azerbaijan). The simulations based on the proposed method allowed to provide recommendations in order to optimize the technological parameters for gaslift operated wells on Guneshli oilfield.
