Combining plunger lift and gas injection in low-rate gas wells

Plunger lift and gas injection are two common methods used in gas wells to unload liquids. As the productivity of gas wells in the western Canadian sedimentary basin continues to decline, these methods used alone are no longer sufficient for many wells. Combining plunger lift with gas injection by use of newly developed and innovative tools and techniques can provide a solution for many low-rate gas wells that otherwise could not be cost-effectively produced.
