Plunger Lift By Side String Injection A Method of Producing Wells By Plunger Lift In Wells With Low Bottom Hole Pressure By Incorporating Supplemental Surface Injection Via Side String

A project was undertaken to utilize plunger lift in wells with abnormally low bottom hole pressures. This was accomplished through the use of coiled tubing for side-string injection (see schematic). This application has a wide range of applicability for high water cut low-pressure reservoirs.
