| The escalated cost of gas locking in a plunger
pump can take countless dollars from the profit margin. In
most producing wells where the gas to water ratio is high
the cost and concerns of gas locking could possibly make a
profitable well uneconomical to produce. The bottom line is
that many profitable wells are shut in or production is lost
due to gas locking.
Down Hole Injection Incorporated introduces a new plunger
that eliminates gas locking. In fields and wells where gas
locking occurs this is the future for profitable oil and
gas production.
Conventional plunger pump concepts rely on the plunger
to develop high pressure below the plunger in the pump barrel
during the downstroke. This high pressure is required to
open the traveling valve to allow the liquid and gas to
flow through the inside of the plunger for lifting to the
surface on the upstroke. Failure of the traveling valve
to open on the downstroke in high gas to water ratio wells
causes a gas locked condition thus resulting in no or little
pump displacement.
However, the DHI Plunger imparts a positive opening traveling
valve to prevent gas locking and reduce pump flumping.
