Abstract
A gas flow velocity within a horizontal wellbore section is increased by a velocity string and a downhole-type compressor. A pressure within the horizontal wellbore section is decreased by a downhole-type compressor located within a vertical wellbore section fluidically connected to the horizontal wellbore section. Liquid build-up within the horizontal wellbore section is decreased in response to the increased gas flow velocity and the decreased pressure.
