The invention discloses a method and
system for simulating
plunger gas lift, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining the correlation among the
mass of a gas column above a
plunger, the height of the
plunger and the blowout flow of surface gas according to the expansion characteristics of the gas column above the plunger before the plunger ascends to a liquid
slug at the top of the plunger and reaches the ground; the method comprises the following steps of: collecting
reservoir fluid, determining the flowing characteristic of the
reservoir fluid into an annular space based on the flowing characteristic of the
reservoir fluid into an oil
pipe and a casing
pipe, and then constructing the correlation between the
mass of the produced hydrops and the ascending speed of the plunger before the plunger continuously ascends to reach the ground; according to the expansion characteristics of the gas column at the bottom of the plunger, the correlation between the
mass of the gas column at the bottom of the plunger and the blowout flow of the surface gas when the plunger stays on the ground is obtained; after the plunger descends to the liquid
slug entering the bottom of the plunger, the descending speed of the plunger and the new liquid
slug at the top and the new liquid slug at the bottom are respectively related. According to the invention, plunger
gas lift full-period
dynamic simulation is realized, and the method has good applicability and reliability.
