Abstract
A gas-lift system and method, of which the gas-lift system includes a first valve configured to be coupled to a production tubing, a second valve configured to be coupled to the production tubing at a position that is subjacent to the first valve, and a control line coupled to the first valve and the second valve, and configured to apply a control line pressure to the first and second valves, the control line pressure applied by the control line being independent of an annulus pressure in the annulus and a production tubing pressure in the production tubing. The first valve is configured to actuate at least partially in response to the control line pressure, and the second valve is configured to actuate at least partially in response to the control line pressure.
