Anton Intelligent Plunger Drainage Gas Production Technology helps flooded gas well efficient reproduction

After Intelligent Plunger System installed, all the gas well effusion was drained. The average daily gas production reached 26,500m³ and the daily gas production increased by 130.4%.


1. Anton Intelligent Plunger Drainage Gas Production Technology helps flooded gas well efficient reproduction.

Anton Intelligent Plunger Drainage Gas Production Project helps Client’s shale gas flooded wells efficient reproduction after a long-term production testing around 3 months. On August 7, 2021, the WYXXHF well of Sinopec Drainage Gas Production Project which was contracted by Anton, all the gas well effusion was drained after the Intelligent Plunger System installation. The average daily gas production reached 26,500m³ and the daily gas production increased by 130.4%. Within 3 months of installation, the cumulative increase in natural gas production exceeds 1.3 million m³ and input-output ratio reached 1:7. This technology has successfully helped Client achieve flooded wells efficient reproduction and maximizing asset value of oil and gas reservoirs. The successful application of Anton Intelligent Plunger Drainage Gas Production Technology demonstrates that the applicability, timeliness and economy of this technology in shale gas wells.

2. An Intelligent Drainage Gas Production Technology with high liquid carrying efficiency, continuous drainage and good economic benefits.

The WYXXHF well is an oblique development evaluation horizontal well deployed by the Shale Gas Project Department of the oilfield company in Baima Town, located in the gentle tectonic belt (Tieshan-Weiyuan tectonic belt) of the southwest Sichuan Basin. Prior to this operation, this gas well was forced to shut in due to serious effusion and failure of normal continuous production. Previously, the drainage technologies such as gas-lift drainage and bubble drainage have caused high cost and poor effect. Therefore, the client urgently need an intelligent drainage gas production technology with high liquid carrying efficiency, continuous drainage and good economic benefits.
Anton Intelligent Plunger Drainage Gas Production System is an intelligent and efficient gas well drainage technology. The method of using plunger as interface for Gas-Water Mechanical Separation has advantages of high liquid carrying efficiency and continuous drainage. The system has the function of remote measurement and control, which can intelligently regulate the running status of the plunger and reduce the cost, truly realized intelligent production management.

3. Optimize the plunger selection, improve the plunger operation procedures, and ensure stable production of gas wells.

When facing the serious problem of shale gas well effusion, Anton started from the optimization of plunger selection and operation procedure, guarantee of construction organization, etc., to ensure the successful installation of intelligent plunger system.

Ø  Optimize plunger selection
By using professional software to simulate flow pressure and gas flow rate, and the rotary jet plunger suitable for 2-7/8" tubing then selected. This method could help improve the liquid carrying efficiency.

Ø  Improve the plunger operation procedures
By using software simulation and field real-time adjustment, optimize the plunger system with the time optimization mode. Finally formed a regulation that the initial operation cycle of plunger was 1.5h shut-in and 4h opening, on the premise of ensuring plunger operation, increase well opening rate as much as possible.

Ø  Strengthen guarantee of construction organization
Anton appointed senior technical experts for oil and gas production to provide on-site guidance, repeatedly refining the operation process and optimizing the process steps to ensure the safety, controllability and effectiveness of operation.


Anton could provide clients with integrated drainage gas production technology services such as: intelligent plunger drainage gas production, velocity string drainage gas production, intelligent foam drainage gas production, gas lift drainage gas production and etc. We also have a group of high-level oil and gas production technical experts and experienced field service engineers. The aforementioned perfect completion of intelligent plunger drainage gas production operation not only provides an efficient solution for flooded shale gas well reproduction, but also will become an effective tool for intelligent drainage and production of similar conventional gas wells and tight gas wells. Anton always insists on technological innovation, adhering to the purpose of "help others succeed", and making efforts to contribute to the intelligent drainage gas production of oil and gas fields.
