In this embodiment, preferably, the first pipeline 101 is equipped with a gas flow regulator 6, which is used for regulating and controlling the flow of high-pressure gas forced into the pipe string structure by the compressor 5.

The function of the enhanced gas lift provided in this embodiment is the same as that provided in Embodiment 1. Furthermore, as the cross-sectional area of the tubing-tubing annular space is generally larger than that of small diameter pipe string 3, the gas-liquid mixture is discharged from the tubing-tubing annular space with a relatively large cross-sectional area, which can effectively improve the discharge and gas production, and is suitable for extraction operation in situations where the gas well has a large water production. With the same water production as the existing gas 30 wells, only a relatively small amount of compressed gas needs to be injected, and a relatively low bottom hole flowing pressure can be realized, which is more conducive to the production of gas well.

Embodiment 3
This type of enhanced gas lift is different from Embodiment 2 in that: The opening at the upper end of the small diameter pipe string 3 is connected to the inlet end of the gas-water separator 4 through the third pipeline 103, and the opening at the upper end 5 of the tubing-tubing annular space is connected to the compressor 5 through the fourth pipeline 104; the first pipeline 101 and the fourth pipeline 104 are equipped with a pipeline switching device capable of switching between the first pipeline 101 and the fourth pipeline 104; and the second pipeline 102 and the third pipeline 103 are also equipped with a pipeline switching device capable of switching between the second 10 pipeline 102 and the third pipeline 103.
In this embodiment, preferably, the fourth pipeline 104 is also equipped with a gas flow regulator 6.
The enhanced gas lift provided in this embodiment can be used in different ways according to the water production requirements of the gas well, which solves the 15 problems related to different water production requirements needed to ensure production pressure difference under the circumstances of changes in downhole static pressure and fluid production index arising from general reasons. Under the condition of not changing the basic structure of the original equipment, the flexibility of equipment water production is greatly enhanced, which can meet different application 20 requirements. Not only will this embodiment avoid increase in equipment cost due to the necessity to use more than one set of equipment, but will also effectively prevent inconveniences caused by the replacement of equipment and negative impact on the work efficiency.
According to the characteristics of gas well extraction, the lower the bottom hole 25 pressure is, the larger the volume of water discharged by the enhanced gas lift.
However, when the same gas well is at different operation and extraction stages, the bottom hole pressure will also change with the extraction process. When production have just begun, the bottom hole pressure is relatively high and water discharge from gas well is low. As the process of production progresses, bottom hole pressure 30 decreases and water discharge from gas well becomes relatively high. For the enhanced gas lift provided in this embodiment, the pipeline switching device can be adjusted according to different water production requirements in order to change the
2019100015 08 Jan 2019 usage method of the enhanced gas lift, so that the enhanced gas lift can be put in a better state of operation throughout the whole mining process, which would ensure the smooth extraction of gas wells.
In this embodiment, in terms of the specific setting of the pipeline switching device, the reversing valve can be installed at the junction of two pipelines (the first pipeline
