Abstract: A well system and method of installation and operation for two-way communication between a service facility and a remotely located well head such as associated with an offshore well for such well functions as production of well fluids by gas lift. The system includes a well having a string of production tubing in a casing defining an annulus around the tubing, a gas lift valve in the tubing to admit lift gas from the annulus to the bore of the tubing to assist in raising production fluids to the surface, a well head including fittings for fluid communication into the production tubing and into the annulus, a service facility spaced from the well head including facilities for receiving well production and for pumping injection gas for gas lift in the well, and conductors communicating the service facility with the well head.
