Gas Assisted Plunger Lift
Gas Assisted Plunger Lift (GAPL) is a hybrid method of gas lift that utilizes a plunger to increase efficiency of lift gas
Can help eliminate common GL inefficiencies
Over Injection
Liquid Slippage
Paraffin Formation (cooling effect)
Plunger provides a mechanical interface between gas & liquid
Bypass plungers will not cause valve transfer issues and are appropriate tool for GAPL
May delay or eliminate the need to pull TBG and redesign Gas Lift System as well conditions change
GAPL Benefits
Interface provides full sweep of liquids in production string, where slippage typically still occurs
Maximizes fluid recovery (oil)
Paraffin Solidifies in upper end of production string where velocities are highest.
Cooling effect occurs from injection point around GL valves, interrupting operation and hindering production. Plunger alleviates issue.
Solids control (Scale and Iron Sulfates). Keeping tubing clear.
Lower BHFP, lower drawdown will yield net production gains/uplift
As this happens, have the ability to lower injection rates or eliminate injection Release compression, etc.
GAPL Candidate Selection
Wells that produce up to 350-500Bblsliquids per day, depending on tubing size (2 3/8” 350BblsMax & 2 7/8” 500BblsMax)
GLR equivalent to 350-500Bbls/750Mcf/d-1MMcf/d Gross Gas
Depends on fluid cut (50%+ Oil = lighter weight = larger pool of well candidates)
Have seen success with lower GLR
Line Pressure has to be considered
GL Designs with GAPL as long-term vision, can be more effective. Set SN just above bottom valve or screened orifice. A packer-less application can allow you to inject around EOT and right-size compression through the life of the well.
Stand-alone Bypass PL (no Gas Lift assistance) can operate with up to 400 Bls/1MMcf/d, depending on tubing size, line pressure in field
