.... In this paper a reservoir-performance based algorithm proposed by Ozkan et al. (2003) is applied to optimize the gas production and shut-in periods of plunger lift operation. The objective of the optimization is to maximize gas production with the condition that the liquid loaded during production can...

... at the bottom of the tubing by the end of the shut-in period. Setting the well’s controller to have the shortest possible shut-in time period to allow the plunger to fall to bottom can maximize oil and gas production from plunger lift installations. microphone recess plunger lift installation data...

... the pressure drawdown. The pressure buildup testing theory was derived from the pressure drawdown theory described above. By definition, a pressure buildup test consists of two parts; the drawdown (flow) and shut-in periods. Traditionally, the equations defining a buildup test were derived using...

... parameters in the model were determined by regression. These parameters were then used in the radial model to simulate cases of practical importance. The radial model describes gelation behavior during the period of gel solution injection and the subsequent shut-in period. During the injection phase...
