Abstract:Plunger gas lift process technology is an economical solution to the problem of gas well liquid buildup. However, in-house simulation experiments revealed that the high-speed movement of the plunger may lead to fluid leakage and generate annular gap frictional resistance. To address this issue, a detailed experimental study was conducted to comparatively analyze five existing frictional resistance models, which were found to have significant deviations. Therefore, we propose a new model of annular gap friction… Show more
