Plunger Lift - PLS - In House Training

Plunger Lift - In-house training by PetroSkillsThis course can be conducted on site at your location exclusively for your staff. 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 it is initially inexpensive and can last a long time with no outside energy required for many wells. The components of each system are described and the cycles of each method are shown in detail and tools for analysis are provided to the attendees. Methods of analysis include analysis by shape of the SCADA traces of CP, TP, rate and LP. Also analysis of the cycles are facilitated by use of a provided spread sheet that allows determination of the cycle slug size, the CP required to lift it at the correct speed, the minimum time for shut-in for the plunger to fall, the maximum liquid possible, the cycle times, and other information on the plunger cycle. Other details of plunger lift operation are presented with the focus on trouble free cycles and more gas production. The course will consist of slide presentations, example problems and discussion. Some film will be shown. Some programs and SS will be distributed to the attendees. One personal computer is provided, at additional cost, for each two participants. Find out more
