... Natural gas has been playing an increasingly important role in the global energy transition with various efforts underway to minimize greenhouse gas emissions during gas production to align natural gas E&P operations with strategic ESG goals. Plunger lift (PL), one of the major artificial...

.... It is also very much relying on human intervention. Due to that, an alternative liquid lift loading system is introduced in the field. An intelligent plunger lift has been piloted in 12 wells in the field to reduce the liquid loading issue in mid 2021. Apart from the apparent advantages of plunger lift...

... plungers need to be tested out more in the field to gather more data on how well they perform. Finally, optimizing plunger lift wells through better plunger style selection is a viable way to increase production efficiency. Because the 5 types of plungers behave significantly differently from one...

... and plunger assisted gas lift (PAGL) for different plunger types. The liquid unloading mechanism of the CFP lift was also discussed. The study is unique in defining the hydrodynamics of continuous flow plunger lift and PAGL operations. The models are constructed with dimensionless parameters allowing...

... Abstract Plunger lift has been widely used in unconventional gas wells to remove liquid accumulation from the well.. Production surveillance provides large amount of data of production process and normal and abnormal operations, which can be used in machine learning (ML) and Artificial...

... techniques are foam injection (batch and continuous), velocity strings, fresh water injection, jet pumps, plunger lift and mobile well head compressors. Over the last ten years annual gas production from the small fields (i.e. all fields except Groningen) was between 30 to 40 Bcm/yr. (1050 - 1400 Bcf/yr...

... Abstract Field testing was performed on plunger lift systems in horizontal Marcellus shale wells. Plunger lift software from Echometer Company, Total Well Management, or TWM was used on certain wells to monitor acoustic trace, casing pressure, and tubing pressure throughout the plunger cycle...

Overall costs and production results are shown along with results from representative wells. production control production...

... Abstract This paper presents a study for plunger lift characteristics to dewater tight-gas wells operated in the Piceance basin of Rocky Mountains with multiple-well pads and surface pipeline network. The wells’ TVDs are about 6000 ft with deviated paths, and the water-gas-ratio (WGR) is 40~80...

... Abstract This paper is a follow up to SPE 115934, which introduced a preliminary plunger lift model built around the availability of Smart Plunger (**) data. These devices are equipped with internal gauges to record pressure and temperature with time, which can be downloaded whenever...

... As indicated in Fig. 1 , pressure data from the smart plunger serves as a useful indicator of various events that occur in a plunger lift cycle. The recorded pressure data provides insight about the time when a plunger hits the liquid at the bottom of the well to the time it reaches...

...Introduction Plunger lift is a particular form of intermittent lift which makes use of a metal plunger to supply a solid interface between gas and lifted liquid load. Plunger lift has several advantages over other artificial lift techniques. It is especially suitable for dewatering loaded gas...

... strings, beam pumps and other pumps, surfactant injection, and plunger lift. Plunger lift is a popular method for dewatering gas wells due to the low initial installation cost and due to low operation cost by using the well's stored energy to dewater the well. Plunger lift is one of the primary artificial...

... backpressure on the formation, which reduces production rates. A free cycle plunger is designed to increase daily plunger cycles as compared to a conventional plunger lift system. This increase reduces the slug size, requiring less energy to lift the plunger to the surface. The plunger design allows...
