After decades of trial and error, and frustration, plunger-lift finally has become widely accepted as a legitimate solution to producing many wells. As the experience level has increased, so has the success. As the equipment has been improved, so have the applications. This paper is to describe an application, coupled with new technology that is allowing producers to use plunger-lift systems on wells never before possible. The limiting factor for most plunger-lift wells is gas. It is now possible to take advantage of the low lifting costs of plungers on some of these wells.
