While plunger sensors are one of the least expensive parts on a plunger well, they can often cost operators more than just their price. Most plunger sensors feature an electromagnetic coil that picks up the plunger as it moves by. Many plunger arrivals can be missed if the plunger travels slowly, stalls before reaching the sensor, or does not have enough ferrous content. Other times, they can falsely signal an arrival when picking up lightning and inference from other nearby systems.
All of these issues combined with high sensor failure rates leads to downtime, poor optimization, and increased equipment costs. Geomagnetic sensing uses modern sensors and a microprocessor to read, filter, and react to changes in the earth’s magnetic field when the plunger nears the surface. This leads to the most rugged and reliable plunger sensors and opens up the door to sensing plunger velocity at surface that can enhance the safety and maintenance of plunger wells.
There is often a lot of confusion when it comes to understanding standards, testing organizations, and hazardous area classifications. We will go through explaining all of these concepts, how to read a certification label, and how to effectively install equipment that may reside in one zone but be connected to devices in another zone.
Modbus is the most common protocol used in the oilfield. In many cases, understanding the protocol and configuring devices to talk to each other is left to I&E, electricians, and developers. This video explains the fundamentals of serial communications and Modbus so that anyone can have a basic understanding of the protocol and how to use it.
The ALiEn2 line of plunger controllers can operate autonomously or as part of a SCADA system. It is capable of a number of different advanced optimization modes that allow it to adapt to any plunger lift well. In this video, we step through each of the available modes to explain how they fundamentally work, equipping you with the information you need to decide which mode to use for a given well.
