Increased production and extended well life
Plunger lift uses natural pressure buildup to efficiently remove liquids, increasing gas recovery and extending the economic life of the well.
Low capital and operating cost
Plunger lift systems are capable of paying back the system in as little as a few weeks, depending on gas prices period.
Reduced downtime and emissions
Automated cycle control minimizes manual shut-ins and reduces venting and blowdowns that occur during manual unloading.
Improved wellsite safety
Forged lubricators eliminate weld-related weak points and feature the patented poly-spring which maintains optimal impact absorption across a range of plunger velocities—enhancing equipment protection and personnel safety.

Common questions about PCS Ferguson plunger lift solutions
What type of wells benefit most from plunger lift?
Wells with low bottom-hole pressure, high gas-to-liquid ratios, and up to ~300 bbl/d liquid production typically experience the greatest benefit.
How quickly does a plunger lift system pay out?
Depending on gas prices and production increase, payback can occur in as little as a few weeks based on a ~50 Mcf/d uplift example.
Why use forged lubricators?
Forged designs eliminate weld-related weak points, improving strength, fatigue resistance, and impact tolerance.
Does plunger lift reduce emissions?
Yes. Automated cycling minimizes manual blowdowns and reduces venting associated with manual unloading.
