(2024027) I-Plunger ---A Look Downhole

The I-Plunger is designed for Gas Wells and is an Instrumented Plunger that records pressure, temperature, depth, and plunger velocity. Information from the tool is collected and graphically presented for detailed analysis as well as a quick reference guide. Typical information that can be gathered from the I-Plunger is useful in determining plunger lift optimization, dual-stage plunger setup, frac and off-set production interference, pulse testing and horizontal well interference, gas lift and GAPL analysis, fluid levels, verify the plunger is traveling to bottom, bottom-hole pressure and temperature, multi-well pad operational interference, production effects from field compression and calculation of reservoir properties based on bottom-hole pressure when combined with other diagnostic tools. The I-Plunger program allows the Field User to initiate the I-Plunger on location in preparation for data collection and then this information can be used to optimize operational efficiency in the field, increase production, and for reservoir management. Data has been collected from a variety of Gas Lift Wells and is presented in graphical form for review. A detailed analysis for a gas lift well is presented at the end of this information showing evaluation and conversion to Gas Assisted Plunger Lift (GAPL).
