The present invention is directed to producing fluid from an oil or gas
well by means of a combination intermittently filled down hole chamber
accumulation device and a connected upper continuous gas lift flow
system, separated by an inline one-way reverse flow check valve. A
two-way purge and vent valve controls the distribution of high pressure
gas. The two-way valve first injects high pressure gas into the chamber
accumulation device to displace the fluid from the chamber into the
continuous flow conduit. The two-way valve then vents the residual high
pressure gas from the chamber into a separate low pressure conduit to the
surface. The valve also provides high pressure gas to the continuous flow
conduit to assist in the production of the fluid.
