Liquid loading is a common phenomenon that occurs in a gas production well, where liquid drops fall to the bottom of the well. Liquids produced with gas can come from aquifers and or condensate liquids from the gas phase produced. If the liquid volume continues to increase in the bottom of the well, the productivity of the gas well will continue to decline and eventually the gas well will stop producing. This research is a physical study that models artificial lifting to produce liquid deposited on the bottom of a gas well as described above. By unloading the liquid, the gas production in the well will be maximal or in other words can increase the production of the gas well. The technique developed in this study uses a new approach that is more efficient than the existing techniques. This technique is called Continuous Liquid Unloading. In this research a physical model will be made which is a prototype which will then be tested for various scenarios that are suitable with the conditions in the natural gas field. The implementation of this tool is carried out in gas fields that experience liquid loading problems, so it is expected that by applying the scheme and design of this equipment it can increase the overall production of gas wells and have an impact on increasing national gas production.
