Patented Innovations in Casing Plungers Increase Production in Marginal Oklahoma Panhandle Wells

摘要

The unreliability of casing plungers has diminished their appeal as an effective solution for removing accumulated well bore fluids that severely curtail production in marginal stripper wells. For decades, the primary cause of failure points to the sealing cup design and the adverse reactions of cup material to well bore conditions. A new cup design and mechanical innovations restore the appeal of casing plungers as a reliable tool to increase production in a broad range of marginal well conditions. Production increases, extended cup life, and reduced operating expenses have been achieved.
