Plunger Control & Optimization

Overview

Lavoro Plunger provides control and automated optimization of artificial lift wells utilizing plungers to increase production, extend the life of the well, and increase maintenance intervals. It can be used with existing PLCs, RTUs, or can be used independently. There are many options for controlling the wells through various flow permissives, flow overrides, automatic tuning, and critical flow rate. Lavoro Plunger achieves an almost infinite capacity to adapt to specific situations.
 

Developed By

• Lavoro Technologies

Features

• Three operating modes for a well: manual, intermitter (timed), and auto plunger lift
• Auto mode avoids fluid load up that compromises full plunger travel
• Optimizes the speed of the plunger to minimize wear in lubricator and springs, extending the life of the equipment
• Easy to use interface on local HMI or mobile device
• Provides remote manage-by-exception capabilities and role-based visualizations of operational information
• Works with other Lavoro menu-driven applications available through Agora to solve a variety of problems from the field to the office
