Plungers
Progressive™ Plunger System
Weatherford’s Progressive plunger system uses multiple plungers in

the same well to optimize the use of lift gas. The Progressive system
makes use of the gas available between multiple stages to lift fluid; it
also uses the gas from below the lowest stage, which usually comes
from the formation or from backside pressure. This optimization of lift gas
effectively and consistently reduces the gas:liquid ratio (GLR) by as much
as 1 to 3 Mcf/bbl as it also reduces the amount of formation pressure or
casing pressure needed to achieve the lift.
Applications
Weatherford installs the Progressive plunger system for the following
staged plunger-lift applications:
• Wells with low GLRs, which are usually borderline conventional

candidates
• Wells with inadequate lift gas to ensure optimal plunger arrivals with
acceptable liquid production
• Wells that must be shut in on plunger arrival because of the inflow of
fluid during the cycle
• Wells that have matured to minimal reservoir pressure and can no
longer operate as a conventional plunger-lift system
• Gas-lift wells that have become uneconomical with compressor rental
charges
• Wells for which rod pump would be technically feasible but economically
impractical
Features, Advantages and Benefits

• The Progressive plunger system offers a viable solution for dewatering
weak-flowing wells with low-cost plunger-lift efficiency.
• The system reduces the casing pressure needed for lifting, with a
resulting reduction in backpressure, which increases production inflow.
• The system results in more available cycles, with less fluid per cycle, to
further enhance production rates. The lift system can keep up with fluid
as it is delivered from the formation.
• Use of the Progressive plunger system can eliminate the need for
venting production gas, thus maximizing total gas production and
reducing environmental effects. All produced gas is sold.
• The Progressive plunger system can be added to an existing plunger
system if an intermediate landing assembly and a second plunger
are added to the existing plunger system. Use of existing equipment
reduces costs, and the increased efficiency from the addition of the
Progressive system can improve production rates.

Plungers
Progressive™ Plunger System
Specifications
• The Progressive plunger is available in the following sizes: 2-1/16, 2-3/8, 2-7/8 and 3-1/2 in.
• Standard material is 4140 alloy steel, but 17.4 pH material and INCONEL® spring are available for use in
corrosive conditions.
• A special assembly is available for carbon dioxide (CO2) environments.
Installation Procedure
The Progressive plunger system is installed as follows:
1. Surface existing plunger, and remove from well.

2. Move in and rig up slick line.
3. Recommended: Run in hole, and pull existing bottomhole bumper spring assembly. Run a gauge ring to tag
total depth (TD) and establish fill, and broach to ensure tubing drift. Finally, run in hole with original bottomhole
bumper spring assembly, and set.
4. Run in hole with Type A tubing stop, crossover, and lower bumper spring assembly, and set at setting depth.
(Setting depth is usually about 65% of TD but can be more precisely determined.)
5. Run in hole with upper bumper spring with standing valve, swab cup mandrel, and collet latch assembly.
6. Set upper assembly collet on top of tubing stop.
7. Rig down and move off slick line. Return wellhead plunger lubricator.
8. Load upper chamber. When wellhead pressures permit, cycle well to transfer fluid to upper chamber.
Caution: Complete Step 8 before proceeding to Step 9. Failure to do so can cause damage to spring and/or
plunger.
9. Drop pad by pad plunger.
10. Optimize well based on reduced travel time relative to reduced travel for upper plunger.

Plungers
RapidFlo™ Plunger
Weatherford’s RapidFlo continuous-flow plunger maximizes flow-through

while maintaining strength in material. Used correctly, the plunger falls
against flow and uses the velocity of the gas to form a seal, delivering fluid
without any time delay. The RapidFlo plunger is particularly effective in the
following applications:
• High-velocity gas wells experiencing liquid loading

• High liquid-producing wells that require numerous trips to move the
necessary amounts of fluid
• Wells just beginning to liquid-load

• The unique, single-piece design makes the RapidFlo plunger easy
to operate and inspect, which saves time. In addition, because the
RapidFlo plunger has fewer moving parts than comparable plungers, it
is able to travel with minimal fluid loads above the spring, minimizing the
risk of damage to the spring.
• The solid ring design and durable valve enhance strength, saving
money by extending the life of the plunger. Its superior strength also
enables adaptation of the plunger to changing well conditions.
• The internal fishneck of the plunger creates a large internal flow path,
increasing production by maximizing flow-through capability.
• Unique design requires only a standard lubricator used for conventional
plungers.
• The plunger may be cycled on arrival if the gas flow rate allows,
Striker Rod eliminating the need for the ball fall time required by two-piece
applications.
• The plunger is also available in 17.4 PH material for use in corrosive
environments.

falls against the flow and uses the velocity of the gas to form a brush-to-
metal seal, delivering fluid without delay.

• Flexible, oversized nylon brush is designed to maintain a superior seal,
preventing pressure loss and reducing the amount of gas pressure
needed to cycle for improved productivity.
• Superior manufacturing techniques hold the brush wire in place via an
exclusive mechanical bonding process that does not involve welding
or glue, thus providing the most secure seal while preventing brush
damage and extending the life of the plunger.
• The durable valve enhances strength and enables the plunger to adapt
to changing well environments for decreased maintenance and greater
versatility.
• Heat-treated AISI 4140 alloy-steel construction provides superior
durability, reducing operating costs by extending the life of the plunger.
• Internal fishing neck creates a large flow path, maximizing flow-through
capability for increased production.
• Plunger can be cycled on arrival if the gas flow rate allows, speeding
operations by eliminating the need for the ball fall time required by two-
piece applications.

Superior Brush-Plunger Performance by Design

Weatherford’s unparalleled machining technology actually holds the center
wire in place by creating a mechanical bond. A special cutting tool opera-
tion captures the wire on each end and performs a unique cut and crimp
action at the same time. This advanced process promotes a most secure
seal and, unlike glue processes, will not break down because of heat or
chemical reactions.

T-Pad Plunger
The Weatherford T-pad plunger is designed for maximum sealing integrity

and performance. The plunger is field proven to last 25 to 40 percent
longer than similar plungers on the market and is the plunger of choice
for use in marginal wells, clean tubing, and wells that produce water,
condensate, or oil. The optional DuraSeal™ feature is ideal for wells that
require an even more robust seal.

• The T-pad plunger is constructed of heat-treated AISI 4140 alloy steel
for superior durability. Extended plunger life reduces operating costs.
• Unique design incorporates four T-pad sections that are equally
balanced by two springs, enabling the plunger to expand evenly and
contract to the irregularities of the tubing. This feature reduces costs
by decreasing wear and tear and increases production by providing a
constant 360˚ seal.
• The T-pad plunger is manufactured with a standard API fishneck and is
available in both single- and dual-pad designs. In addition, the plunger
can be redressed quickly. Removing the nose and replacing the used

CEO™ Two Plus Plunger-Lift Controller
Weatherford’s CEO Two Plus plunger-lift controller enhances the

performance of the CEO Two model with the addition of an AutoAdjust™
feature that optimizes the plunger travel time from the bottom of the well
to the surface. The plunger operates more efficiently when it travels at
the manufacturer’s recommended speed. To achieve this optimal travel
time, the AutoAdjust feature automatically adjusts the off and sales times,
based on the difference between the actual and optimal travel times.
Dividing the well’s depth by this recommended speed determines the
optimal travel time.
The AutoAdjust feature ensures that an adequate fluid column is on top

of the plunger by preventing the plunger from cycling too frequently. This
feature also prevents the plunger cycle from lifting too much fluid by
controlling how much time the well flows after an arrival, while avoiding a
large fluid load.
Its sturdy and simple design makes the CEO Two Plus plunger-lift
controller cost effective for standalone operations in harsh environments
where remote communication is unavailable.
Applications
• High gas: liquid ratio wells
• Harsh environment (sour-gas) operations
• Operations where remote communication is unavailable
• Operations in hazardous locations

• The AutoAdjust feature allows the controller to decrease the total
plunger cycle time in a variety of modes (Murphy, single-valve, [A/B]
two-valve, and B) to permit more frequent liquid removal from the well
and optimize control beyond the timer settings.
• Intuitive user interface with simple controls and settings reduces training
time and minimizes the risk of operator error.
• Local display allows interaction by the field operator to ensure quick
response to changing conditions.
• Standard event logger accurately records the plunger cycle time, as well
as plunger arrival times, for more accurate operational evaluations.
• Controller can vary the off and sales times, based on the difference
between the actual and optimal travel times, to maximize plunger
efficiency.
• Automatic high- and low-pressure shutdown feature with choice of reset
conditions ensures quick operator response on safety controls.

K-MVT Multivariable Transmitter

Communications Interface Module
Weatherford’s K-MVT multivariable transmitter (MVT) communications

interface module (CIM) applies proven “smart” technology to
simultaneously measure three independent variables for gas or water
flows. The K-MVT provides fast, audit-quality measurement of differential
pressure, static pressure, and temperature. It can be used as a gas
flow transmitter for orifice and V-Cone® meters and also as a water flow
transmitter for V-Cone meters. The K-MVT can be built into the enclosure
system of a Weatherford remote terminal unit (RTU) but is also available
as a stand-alone, explosion-proof module.
Microprocessor-based electronics, coupled with sensor characterization,

improve temperature and pressure compensation to enhance accuracy.
The microprocessor performs one-second measurement averages
and flow extension calculations to make readings available to a K-500,
K-2000, or K-3000 RTU, allowing the RTU to produce flow calculations
K-MVT Multivariable that meet the quality requirements of custody transfer. The RS-485
Transmitter CIM multi-drop serial communications interface allows up to four MVTs to
communicate with a single RTU.
Applications
• The K-MVT is used as a gas flow transmitter for orifice and V-Cone
meters.
• It also can be used as a water flow transmitter for V-Cone meters.
• The K-MVT’s accuracy and stability make it suitable for use in harsh
environments where high-quality measurements are needed for
accurate reporting. It can be used in situations where electromagnetic
interference or radio frequency noise may be a problem, such as around
compressor ignition systems. Explosion-proof rating of the stand-alone.
The K-MVT is for Class I, Division 1 hazardous areas.

Accessories


• Microprocessor-based electronics simultaneously measure differential pressure, static pressure, and
temperature of gas and water flows. Used in both orifice and V-Cone flow transmitters, it is a multi-functional
device that replaces up to three transmitters in a single unit, minimizing training requirements and capital
expenditure.
• The 4-wire, 100-ohm platinum resistance temperature detector (RTD) interface provides accurate gas
temperature measurement for more accurate overall gas flow measurement.
• The transmitter is designed for ultra-low power usage, using a smaller battery and solar panel to reduce system
costs.
• The industry-standard RS-485 multi-drop serial communications interface is widely applied and supported in
the field. With a single four-wire connection, the RTU can communicate with multiple devices for up to 5,000 ft
(1,524 m). This capability reduces wiring requirements and simplifies hook-up.
• K-MVT sensor technology has been widely proven throughout the industry to provide accurate pressure and
temperature compensation, resulting in high-quality measurements that can withstand the scrutiny of an audit.
• Stability and accuracy make the K-MVT dependable in harsh environments. The K-MVT requires less frequent
calibration, which reduces maintenance costs.

Latching Solenoid Valve Assembly
Weatherford’s latching solenoid valve assembly operates as a three-

way, normally closed device to provide precise control of diaphragm-
type valves that regulate air, inert gases, fuel gas, water, oils, and other
media. Contained in a sturdy enclosure, the solenoid valve assembly
can be mounted to pressure tubing lines, away from the controller. This
placement flexibility makes the latching solenoid valve assembly useful in
sour-gas applications, as toxic or corrosive fumes can be vented far from
the controller to protect electronic integrity.
When the valve is in the de-energized state, the in port is closed so that
media enters the cylinder port and exits from the exhaust port. When the
valve is energized, the exhaust port is closed while the media enters the
in port and exits from the cylinder port. Typical uses for this flow pattern
include air cylinder applications.
Applications
• Use with any manufacturer’s remote terminal unit (RTU)
• Sour-gas wells

• The latching solenoid valve assembly is adaptable to any
manufacturer’s RTU with the same outputs, simplifying inventory
control and minimizing costs.
• This unit is mounted away from the controller, allowing the device to
be placed where needed, providing it is located in areas where the
solenoid has been classified for maximum placement flexibility, and
has accessibility for maintenance.
• The latching solenoid valve assembly allows sour gas to be vented far
from the RTU controller, preventing damage to controller circuitry, and
promoting operator comfort and safety.

Accessories
Auto-Catch Assembly
Weatherford’s auto-catch assembly automatically catches the plunger

upon arrival at the surface during each cycle in any plunger-lift application.
The assembly ensures that the plunger trips only when the controller
indicates the need instead of when the flow rate momentarily decreases,
reducing plunger wear and the dry-trip potential.
The assembly can be used with either its own instrumentation gas or
the fuel gas used in opening and closing the main control valve. The
diaphragm topworks applies pressure to the stem, which in turn applies
pressure to the spring and ball assembly to catch the plunger. The plunger
is held until its fall or off time and then released to fall to bottom.
The assembly has a pressure rating up to the 5,000-psi (34-MPa)

standard and up to 10,000 psi (69 MPa) with thread changes.
Applications
• Continuous-flow applications to ensure that the plunger trips only when
necessary and not before the controller indicates a necessary trip
• Conventional plungers that fall into the flow path, potentially leading to
hydrates

• The assembly simply and easily replaces a manual catch, requiring only
the removal of the safety hex pin, assembly threading, and tie-in to the
fuel-gas source.
• The assembly and all plunger systems and components can be
operated with the same plunger lubricator and surface hookup, incurring
no additional cost.

Accessories
Spring Tester
Weatherford’s spring tester measures the tension on a lubricator spring in

a standard plunger operation without disassembly of the entire lubricator
cap. The tester ensures that the spring can provide adequate resistance in
a dry run and prevents spring damage or destruction.
The tester forces the spring to travel a measured distance because of the
external upset end (EUE) thread design. The tester rod is threaded out
until it nearly contacts the cap, which is then joined to the EUE threads
until 200 psi (1,379 kPa) of pressure is reached to ensure that the spring
is slightly compressed. The scale is reset. Two complete turns are made
with the cap for 1/4-in. (6.35-mm) travel, and the pressure on the scale is
recorded.
The measurement is multiplied by 4 to establish the travel-spring

compression. The compression rate is compared with the manufacturer’s
specifications with the usual acceptance within approximately 20% of the
initial spring tension.
Applications
• Inspection of existing plunger systems

• The tester is fast to use and eliminates regularly disabling entire
lubricator caps to test internal springs, saving production time and labor
costs.
• Because the simple tester requires only limited training before field
use, service can be provided by the operator with limited costs or
Weatherford.

Accessories
Echometer Plunger Tracking

and Fluid-Level Measurement
Weatherford’s echometer plunger-tracking and fluid-level measurement

service tracks the fall velocity of any plunger during its shut-in to optimize
production and ensure safety without the need for costly wireline
techniques. The service includes equipment, software, and technicians
to gather and interpret the fall data.
The service is available wherever Weatherford’s plunger-lift tools are

frequently used. The technicians acquire and interpret data for immediate
field optimization and transmittal to a remote office.
Applications
• Determination of plunger-fall times to ensure that the plunger has
enough time to reach bottom
• Assessment as to whether or not tight spots, hydrates, or scale prevent
the plunger from reaching bottom
• Understanding of the liquid levels and their effect on inflow performance,
bottomhole pressure, fall velocity, and uplift potential

• The echometer incurs less cost than wireline because it can be run
easily on wells already operating with plungers with only equipment
rental and the services of one technician.
• The echometer is attached to the lubricator with minimal disturbances
to surface equipment so the well need not be shut in and can operate
normally for an accurate plunger fall measurement.
• Because the well requires no additional shut-in that would build
unneeded perforation pressure, the plunger is in a fluid column when it
reaches bottom, which keeps personnel safe and avoids damage to the
bottomhole, plunger, and surface equipment.
• Files from the software can be interpreted on site and sent by email
to a remote office for timely well optimization.
