ABSTRACT:
A method of increasing the production from a well completed to a reservoir is disclosed. Generally, the method comprises the steps of installing a venturi device within the well. A gas is injected within the annulus and introduced into the well. The venturi device creates a zone of low pressure within the well as well as accelerating the velocity of the production fluids so that the inflow from the reservoir is increased. In one embodiment, the venturi device is associated with a gas lift mandrel located in the well.
