Installing Plunger Lift Systems In Gas Wells

In mature gas wells, the accumulation of fluids in the well can impede and sometimes halt gas production. Gas flow is maintained by removing accumulated fluids through the use of a beam pump or remedial treatments, such as swabbing, soaping, or venting the well to atmospheric pressure (referred to as “blowing down” the well). Fluid removal operations, particularly well blowdowns, may result in substantial methane emissions to the atmosphere.
