The side pocket mandrel further comprises a central bore extending through the side pocket mandrel along a central longitudinal axis that extends through the upper and lower assembly joints. The side pocket mandrel further includes a tool channel offset from the central bore and a side pocket tube linearly aligned with the tool channel and configured to receive a gas lift valve. The side pocket mandrel further includes a pair of primary flow blocks that each have a length (L) that is at least 35% of the total length (L) of the central portion of the side pocket mandrel.
