Plunger Lift - Flowco, Inc.

Optimize Production with Flowco's Advanced Solutions

As wells age, the accumulation of liquids in the production tubing can drastically reduce efficiency, leading to diminished output and higher operating costs. At Flowco, we understand that optimizing production is not just about keeping wells alive—it's about maximizing their potential. That’s where our advanced plunger lift solutions come into play.

Why Choose Flowco Plunger Lift?

Economical and Efficient

Plunger lift is the most economical and efficient method of artificial lift in mature wells. By harnessing the reservoir's natural gas energy or gas injection, our plunger lift systems provide an unbeatable combination of reliability, cost-effectiveness, and performance.

Technologically Advanced Solutions

Traditionally plunger lift solutions were for high gas-liquid ratio (GLR) wells, but with recent technological advancements, they have also proven effective in lower GLR environments. Whether you’re dealing with high-rate wells that require continuous flow or moderate-rate wells that need periodic shut-in times, we have the expertise and technology to deliver the optimal solution.

Advanced Technology for Superior Performance

Our plunger lift systems are designed to optimize every cycle. By integrating automation, you gain supervisory control and remote monitoring capabilities that allow for real-time adjustments based on well performance. This level of precision ensures that your wells operate at peak efficiency with minimal operator intervention.

Bypass and Continuous Flow Plungers

Ideal for high gas and liquid rate wells, ensuring minimal shut-in time and maximum fluid removal.

Fast Fall Plungers

Perfect for wells requiring frequent cycling, delivering more cycles per day for enhanced fluid removal.

Conventional Plungers

Best suited for moderate to low-rate wells, providing efficient sealing and long plunger life.

Multistage Plunger Lift

Designed for lower GLR wells, these systems lift fluids in stages, allowing for operation at lower ratios.

Innovation in Every Detail

Our patented technologies, such as the diamond-cut feature, are field-tested to enhance plunger performance by addressing issues like paraffin or scale build-up. This reduces the need for costly interventions like hot oiling, paraffin cutting, or chemical usage.

Our continuous flow plungers, engineered with the industry’s first unibody dart bypass body and clutch system, provide unmatched durability and performance in extreme cycling conditions. This ensures that your wells continue to operate at their maximum potential, with the lowest cost of ownership.

The Critical Role of Lubricators

A vital component in the efficiency of plunger lift systems is the lubricator, a pressure isolating device designed to catch the ascending plunger and cushion its impact as it reaches the well’s surface. Flowco’s lubricators are engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of daily operations, constructed from traceable materials and designed to meet API 11PL specification standards. With working pressures of up to 10K psi and easy inspection capabilities, our lubricators offer unmatched durability, safety, and efficiency, ensuring that your plunger lift system operates smoothly and reliably.

Complete Lifecycle Support

Our team provides unparalleled service and training, ensuring that your personnel are equipped to handle any challenge.

Additionally, our hybrid solutions allow for the combination of plunger lift with other artificial lift methods, such as continuous gas lift (PAGL or GAPL), to create a customized approach that meets the unique demands of your well.
