There are about 400,000 gas wells in the USA and most are liquid loaded. Solving this problem may increase production as much as ~40%. Plunger lift is a very popular method of gas well dewatering as ...
Theodore A. Pagano, Cory L. Eikenberg; Kerr-McGee, Evans, Colo. In Colorado’s Wattenberg field, Kerr-McGee developed a successful and economic method for artificially lifting, with a bypass plunger, ...
Key insight: All lift systems target the same physics: reduce mixture density or add head so that nodal balance at the wellbore yields the desired rate. 2.3 Select lift method aligned to fluid, depth, ...
