Abstract
A model of operation of intermittent gas lift has been constructed. The boundary value problem of nonstationary motion of gas and fluid in a formation-well system has been solved. The time of fluid accumulation in the well at which the volume of fluid production per 24 hours is maximal has been determined. Analytical expressions have been obtained for determination of the cycle time of gas lift operation. Numerical calculations have been carried out.
