TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to crude oil exploitation technical field, concretely is a plunger device suitable for horizontal well plunger gas lift oil production. BACKGROUND
[0002] Plunger gas lift: plunger gas lift utilizes the plunger that freely moves to move up and down in the oil pipe, and oil is lifted from the well. The gas lift energy comes from the gas in the annular space of the oil pipe - casing. The most commonly used gas lift gas is associated gas. There is a valve at the bottom of the plunger, and when the plunger falls by gravity, the valve opens to allow oil into the oil pipe. When the plunger collides with the bumper at the bottom of the well, the valve closes. The gas in the well or the injected gas makes the plunger move upward to lift the oil. When the plunger hits a bumper at the wellhead, the valve is opened, and the plunger falls by gravity and collides with the bumper at the bottom of the well, and the plunger moves up and down repeatedly to lift the oil to the ground. Plunger gas lift can be used for high gas-oil ratio wells with weak self-flowing capacity or low production.
