Gas flow system

A gas flow system for removing a liquid from a well bore and allowing for gas production, the system comprising:

• a casing in the well bore for allowing flow of the liquid and gas;
• a tubing string in the casing for allowing flow of the liquid and gas;
• pressure measurement devices for use in determining a rate of liquid influx into the well bore;
• a casing control valve moveable between various positions ranging from fully open to fully closed for controlling flow through the casing;
• a tubing control valve moveable between various positions ranging from fully open to fully closed for controlling flow through the tubing;
• flow measurement devices for determining the rate of flow through the tubing and the total rate of flow;
• the system switchable between a current production phase and an alternate production phase based on the rate of liquid influx determined by the pressure measurement devices, a tubing critical velocity and a gas flow rate through the tubing by moving the casing control valve and the tubing control valve between the various positions ranging from fully open and fully closed, wherein switching from a current production phase to an alternate production phase results in either or both of a decrease in liquid build-up in the well bore and an increase in gas production rate and wherein the current production phase differs from the alternate production phase,
• wherein the current production phase and the alternate production phase are selected from the group consisting of casing flow with auto cleanout, slipstreaming, siphon string/tubing flow and switching valves and wherein the current production phase is different from the alternate production phase.
