Well production optimizing system

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6728485
This patent describes a method for controlling the cyclic operation of a petroleum producing well having a motor valve connected between the tubing of the well and a flow sales line. It comprises: reciprocating a plunger mounted for movement within the tubing of the well from the bottom thereof to the well head to carry production liquids from the well to the flow sales line in response to downhole casing pressure when the motor valve is open; sensing when the plunger arrives at its uppermost position in the well tubing; closing the motor valve in response to sensing plunger arrival.
