Abstract

A system and method for lifting reservoir fluids from reservoir to surface through a wellbore having a first tubing string extending through a packer in a wellbore casing. The system includes a bi-flow connector in the first tubing string, a second tubing string in the first tubing string below the bi-flow connector, and a third tubing string in the first tubing string above and connected with the bi-flow connector. A fluid displacement device in the third tubing string is configured to move reservoir fluids to the surface. The first tubing string allows pressured gas to move from the surface through the bi-flow connector to commingle with and lift reservoir fluids through annuli defined by the first and second tubing strings and defined by the casing and the first tubing string. The bi-flow connector is configured to allow simultaneous and non-contacting flow of the downward pressured gas and lifted reservoir fluid.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
         1 . A method for moving reservoir fluids in a wellbore to the surface, comprising the steps of:
 positioning a cylindrical body in the wellbore; wherein said body having a thickness, a first end, a second end, a central bore from said first end to said second end, a side surface, a first channel disposed through said thickness from said first end to said second end, a second channel disposed through said thickness from said side surface to said central bore; and wherein said first channel and said second channel do not intersect;   moving a pressured gas downwardly from the surface through said first channel; and   moving the reservoir fluids through said second channel.   
     
     
         2 . The artificial lift system of  claim 1 , wherein there are more than one channel disposed through said thickness from said first end to said second end; and wherein there are more than one channel disposed through said thickness from said side surface to said central bore.
