Summary:Disclosed is a compressor system suitable for carrying out artificial gas lift operations at an oil or gas well. Also disclosed is a method for controlling the compressor system. The methods disclosed provide the well operator with the ability to identify and maintain gas injection rates which result in the minimum production pressure. The minimum production pressure will be determined either by a bottom hole sensor or a casing pressure sensor located at the surface or any convenient location capable of monitoring pressure at the wellhead.
