Abstract: The gas lift accelerator is a method and a downhole apparatus based on the principle of the jet pump to allow the extraction of reservoir fluids up to high API grade with low or no reservoir pressure, at any depth, by injecting available gas in the oil field, allowing the flexibility of operation on diverse well completion configurations like sliding sleeve type and gas lift mandrels, complementing the operating when other methods like traditional gas lift procedures or hydraulic fluid jet pumps are not effective. The gas lift method includes the use of downhole and surface metering data to optimize the operation of the gas lift accelerator apparatus.
