DESIGN FEATURES
Plunger lift is a widely used artificial lift method, ideal for low-volume, high gas-liquid ratio (GLR) wells. This technique harnesses the well's own energy to lift accumulated fluid from the tubing to the surface, effectively utilizing the gas stored in the annulus. The plunger creates a mechanical seal that prevents gas slippage and liquid fallback, ensuring reliable fluid extraction.
Our ULT Plunger Lift System integrates the latest sensor technologies, significantly improving measurement accuracy. Combined with the ULT intelligent controller, which features AI-powered control modes, the system has been field-proven to optimize production, maximize efficiency, and extend the life of your well.

🛠️ Lubricator
The lubricator is the primary surface unit in a plunger lift system. It acts as the landing point for the plunger when it reaches the surface, protecting the system and enabling controlled operations. Key components include a shock spring to absorb high-velocity impacts, a plunger catcher mechanism, and flow ports.

🔄 Motor Valve
The motor valve is a critical flow control component in plunger lift systems. Acting as a shutoff valve, it manages gas and liquid flow by opening and closing at precise intervals—coordinated by the system controller. This timing allows the plunger to rise and fall, efficiently clearing liquids from the tubing.
