In this integrated hybrid system, Weatherford combines a plunger with gas lift to increase lifting efficiency in intermittent lift wells. In many deep intermittent gas lift installations, the lift gas breaks through the liquid slug before the slug leaches to the surface, resulting in substantial lift fall back. Lift efficiency can be increased significantly by combining a plunger to form an interface between the lift gas and fluid slug. The plunger provides a superior seal between the lift gas and liquid slug as it travels to the surface, increasing efficiency and produced fluid recovery.
