Staged Plunger Lift

Staged Plunger Lift

International Lift Systems, L.L.C. is pleased to introduce the latest application innovation in plunger lift technology. Through the use of mechanical down hole tools, we are able to effectively produce wells that were not previously considered as plunger lift candidates.

Using our patent pending plunger lift stage assembly, we are able to lift smaller volumes of fluid from shallower depths. This results in lower per cycle gas volume requirements, more consistent plunger cycles, and more time available for gas sales by limiting the minimum required plunger fall time. In addition, the plunger stage assembly can be used with any surface equipment and any plunger design.

Example

A 10000 TVD Well capable of producing 4 BBL of fluid per cycle utilizing 2.875 EUE Tubing. Using conventional plunger lift “rules of thumb” the well must be able to produce 16 mcf within a reasonable time frame to trip the plunger and associated fluid to surface.

By setting the plunger stage assembly at 8000 TVD and lifting 1/2 of the fluid, the resulting gas requirement is now 6.4 mcf within a reasonable time frame.

Reasonable Time Frame—Depth / 500ft per minute velocity.

Through the use of ILS proprietary software design program, we are able to determine the optimal stage placement(s) for each application.
