    Abstract: A method of producing natural gas from a well has a mode that removes liquid collected in the well by injecting gas. The well has a string of tubing with a valve at its lower end that is submerged in the liquid produced by the well. An injection tube extends into the tubing. With the valve open, natural gas from the well flows up the tubing annulus and out the well to a gas pipeline and liquid flows into the tubing as well as into the injection tube. Periodically, an injection gas is injected down the injection tube with the valve closed to prevent the injection gas from flowing into the tubing annulus. This causes liquid collected in the tubing to be pushed to the surface and out of the well.
