Some background; In the early stages of a well's life, liquid loading is usually not a problem. When rates are high, the liquids are simply carried out of the tubing with the high velocity gas. Eventually, the daily rate and velocity gradually decrease until the critical flow rate is reached. Below the critical flow rate, heavier liquids do not make it to the surface and start to fall back to the bottom exerting back pressure on the formation, loading up the well.

Plunger lift systems are low cost, effective methods of unloading gas wells and high gas/liquid ratio oil wells without interrupting production.

In operation, a plunger travels to the bottom of the well where the fluid is picked up by the plunger, acting as a swab, and is brought to the surfaced removing all liquids in the tubing. It also keeps the tubing free of paraffin, salt or scale build-up. Fluid removal prevents loading and keeps the well from dying. With continual removal of all produced liquids, there is less fluid weight on the formation, causing great productivity of the well. This system uses the well's own energy requiring no additional power expense.

All types of controllers are available from basic to very sophisticated self optimizing.
