Systems and methods for gas pulse jet pump

A fluid transfer system comprising:

• a compressor configured to compress a low pressure gas into a high pressure gas;
• a tubing system configured to transport the high pressure gas and production fluid through said fluid transfer system;
• and
• a gas pulse jet pump comprising;
• a main body comprising at least one suction chamber configured to receive the production fluid;
• an inlet oriented to receive the production fluid within a lateral portion of a production well for discharge into said gas pulse jet pump;
• at least one gas injection port configured to intermittently inject the high pressure gas into said at least one suction chamber;
• an outlet configured to receive the production fluid from said at least one suction chamber and discharge the production fluid from said gas pulse jet pump;
• a first valve disposed within said main body downstream of said inlet and configured to regulate flow of the production fluid between said inlet and said suction chamber, said first valve configured to move between a first open position and a first closed position by movement of the production fluid and the injection of the high pressure gas, wherein said first valve is configured to move to the first open position and fill said at least one suction chamber with the production fluid in response to said at least one gas injection port ceasing injection of the high pressure gas;
• and
• a second valve disposed within said main body upstream of said outlet and configured to regulate flow of the production fluid between said outlet and said suction chamber, said second valve configured to move between a second open position and a second closed position by movement of the production fluid and the injection of the high pressure gas.

A method of assembling a gas pulse jet pump comprising:

• providing a main body;
• forming, using at least one drill, at least one suction chamber in the main body, the at least one suction chamber configured to receive production fluid;
• forming, using the at least one drill, an inlet oriented to receive the production fluid within a lateral portion of a production well;
• providing at least one gas injection port configured to intermittently inject high pressure gas into the at least one suction chamber;
• forming, using the at least one drill, an outlet configured to receive the production fluid from the at least one suction chamber and discharge the production fluid from the gas pulse jet pump;
• providing a first valve within the main body downstream of the inlet, the first valve configured to regulate flow of the production fluid between the inlet and the suction chamber, the first valve configured to move between a first open position and a first closed position by movement of the production fluid and the injection of the high pressure gas, wherein the first valve is configured to move to the first open position and fill the at least one suction chamber with the production fluid in response to the at least one gas injection port ceasing injection of the high pressure gas;
• and
• providing a second valve within the main body upstream of the outlet, the second valve configured to regulate flow of the production fluid between the outlet and the suction chamber, the second valve configured to move between a second open position and a second closed position by movement of the production fluid and the injection of the high pressure gas.
