ACOUSTIC ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEM FOR GAS PRODUCTION WELL DELIQUIFICATION

摘要

An artificial lift system and method for deliquification of gas production wells is provided. The artificial lift system comprises a downhole tool suspended by a power conductive cable in a wellbore. The downhole tool comprises an atomizing chamber for conversion of the liquid into droplets having an average diameter less than or equal to 10,000 microns. Natural gas produced by a producing zone of the subterranean reservoir transports the vaporized liquid molecules to the well surface. In operation, the atomizing chamber is located above the liquid column in the wellbore.
