An apparatus, system, and method are provided for deliquefying a produced fluid being produced from a gas well. The apparatus can be a nozzle configured to be disposed in a production tube extending from a subsurface gas reservoir to a surface location and configured to provide a pathway for transmission of the produced fluid from the reservoir to the surface location. The nozzle generally can define a first end for receiving the produced fluid from the reservoir, a second end distal to the first end, and an inner surface extending between the ends. The inner surface can define an inwardly tapered inlet portion at the first end, an outwardly tapered outlet portion proximate the second end, and a venturi neck portion between the inlet and outlet portions. The nozzle can be configured to reduce the pressure of the produced fluid and thereby deliquefy the produced fluid passing therethrough.
