Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
flowing a quantity of a nitrogen stream through a coiled tubing to a well formed in a subterranean formation to begin a liquid unloading process in the well;
receiving a production stream from the well in response to flowing the nitrogen stream;
combusting at least a portion of the production stream to produce a flaring byproduct stream;
flowing a quantity of the flaring byproduct stream with the nitrogen stream through the coiled tubing to the well to continue the liquid unloading process in the well;
measuring a flow rate of the flaring byproduct stream;
in response to the flow rate of the flaring byproduct stream reaching a threshold flow rate, decreasing the flow of the nitrogen stream to the well;
measuring a base sediment and water (BS&W) percentage of the production stream; and
in response to the BS&W percentage reaching a threshold BS&W percentage, decreasing the flow of the flaring byproduct stream to the well.
