<p>A system and methods for pumping a multiphase fluid using a pneumatic pump are described herein. The method includes separating a multiphase fluid into a gas stream and liquid streams, and flowing a liquid stream into a pressure vessel of a pneumatic pump until a liquid level within the pressure vessel reaches a specified high level. The method also includes compressing the gas stream to form a high-pressure gas and pressurizing the pressure vessel by the flowing high-pressure gas into the pressure vessel until a pressure level within the pressure vessel reaches a specified high level. The method further includes pumping the liquid stream from the pressure vessel to a destination until the liquid level within the pressure vessel drops to a specified low level, wherein the high-pressure gas provides a motive force for pumping the liquid stream.</p> |
