The plunger landing assemblies include a first landing assembly and an intermediate landing assembly. The lifting includes lifting the first plunger in a first stage to lift production fluid accumulated uphole of the first plunger. The method also includes continuing to lift the first plunger until the first plunger strikes the intermediate one of the plurality of landing assemblies, allowing the production fluid to flow past the second one of the plurality of landing assemblies into a second stage. The method also includes securing the first plunger and lifting, with the production fluid accumulated uphole of a second plunger residing in the second stage, the second plunger to lift the production fluid toward the wellhead.
