Systems and methods for production of gas wells

A method for producing gas from a well including a wellbore extending from a surface into a subterranean formation, wherein the well also produces a liquid, the method comprising:

• (a) installing a production system within the wellbore, wherein the production system includes:
• a casing pipe extending within the wellbore from the surface;
• a liquid tubing string extending within the casing;
• a first production tubing string extending into the casing adjacent the liquid tubing string;
• and
• an annulus extending between the liquid tubing string, the first production tubing string, and the casing;
• (b) producing gas from a production zone in the subterranean formation through the annulus at a first velocity that is greater than a critical velocity;
• (c) pumping liquid through a liquid tubing string after (b) to reduce a level of the liquid;
• (d) shutting in the annulus after (b) after the first velocity decreases below the critical velocity, wherein the annulus has a first cross-sectional area and the first production string has a second cross-sectional area that is less than the first cross-sectional area;
• and
• (e) producing gas from the production zone through the first production tubing string after (d) at a second velocity that is greater than the critical velocity.
