Efficient removal of liquids from gas wells is accompanied by a system using gas lift valves and a subsurface liquid diverter. The mechanics of the system make it adaptable for use in high ratio oil wells. Case histories are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the system in several areas and well types. Surface and subsurface pressure records are used to explain the operation of the system and its components. Application limits of the system and design criteria are described.
