Schematic 5 – Macaroni tubing installation works well in either intermittent or continuousGas Lift System. Essentially the installation is the same as a single zone installation, except the size of the macaroni string is the limiting factor due to ultra-slim hole conditions. It is an ideal method of artificial lift for slim hole completions.
Schematic 6 – This fig. shows a simple installation without packer application for unloading fluids in a gas well. Plunger lift systems can effectively produce high GOR wells, water producing gas wells, or very low bottom hole pressure oil wells (used with gas lift). Depending upon individual well requirements surface/subsurface equipment varies. Installation may or may not require a packer and/or additional gas.
