Abstract
A gas-lift system includes a first valve configured to provide selective communication of a wellbore fluid between an interior of a production tubing an annulus defined exterior to the production tubing, a second valve configured to provide selective communication of the wellbore fluid between the interior of the production tubing and the annulus, and one or more control lines coupled to the first valve and the second valve. The one or more control lines apply a pressure differential to the first and second valves. The first valve is configured to actuate from an open position to a closed position in response to the pressure differential reaching a first pressure differential, and wherein the second valve is configured to actuate from an open position to a closed position in response to the pressure differential reaching a second pressure differential that is different from the first pressure differential.
