Presented is a description of a dynamic model of plunger lift operations which, as opposed to previous methods of analysis. includes calculation of the plunger velocity as the plunger and liquid slug travel up the tubing. Also an analysis of plunger cycles in a high gas-liquid ratio well is presented to indicate the maximum rate of slug buildup, and the maximum casing pressure necessary to lift the plunger and accumulated liquids. The information presented allows a more detailed engineering approach to analyzing the performance of a plunger lifted well. Refs.
