The plunger travels up to the surface because of the pressure differential between downhole pressure and the surface equipment. When the control valve on the flow line closes and the plunger falls, downhole pressure will begin to build to a sufficient level to bring the plunger along with any fluid to the surface when the flow line control valve opens. Producers can lower the operating pressure of the separation equipment or inject natural gas (gas lift) into the well to increase the pressure differential.
I've been working in the oilfield for 5 years It's good to see a visual how things work down hole.
Very helpful explanations and demonstrations. Thank you!
Thank you for the great interactive explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
Perfect and very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Very good video
Thanks for very clear explanation👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Very Good A/L and i have question it can with csssv in the well?
great appreciated, but how that plunger is goes up ? how the pressure difference is forms ?
to take it to the surface ?

What kind of carbon steels are sometimes used for the plungers?
Sorry, you'd need to refer to the manufacturer to answer that question. We're not properly able to speak to that exactly!
Hello Mr.Zhanibek
Great 👍
Great
