1.01.1DESCRIPTIONPlunger Lift BackgroundThe Plunger Lift application works in a manner similar to a pneumatic piston,wherein it is caused by gravity to fall to the bottom of a well. Acting as a sealbetween the liquid and gas, the plunger settles to the bottom of the productiontubing and allows liquid to accumulate above it. This accumulation of liquidrestricts the flow of gas and slows it down. The production valve is closed to allowdown-hole pressure to build in the casing. After the pressure has built, theproduction valve is opened, and the casing pressure lifts the plunger andaccumulated liquids to the surface. At the surface, separators remove the liquidsfrom the gas. Once the volume of the flowing gas drops, it becomes necessary tochoose a time or method of closing the production valve. Once closed, the plungerdrops to the bottom of the production tube. With the plunger deployed and the wellshut-in, the down-hole pressure builds, and the cycle is repeated.The entire operation takes place by the simple expediency of opening or closing avalve. There are many options available for determining when to open and closethe valve, and these options can then be used to modify the plunger to optimizewell production.1.2Plunger Analysis Software BackgroundABB Totalflow has developed an application that will help the user betterunderstand how to fully use the Totalflow Plunger system that is available in allXSeries (8-bit and 32-bit) units. This tool is a stand alone application that analyzesplunger lift cycles via trend files and calculates set points based on averages andother statistical data. This user’s manual and corresponding illustrations arespecifically geared towards the 8-bit (G3) XSeries user, but all of the operationsshown within the manual can be modified easily to perform with the 32-bit (G4)products.The Totalflow Plunger system has many available open and close parameterswhich can be modified for the maximum optimization of well production. Thiscomplexity, along with the myriad of ways in which to run a plunger, often leavesthe user with a level of confusion on where to start running their plunger system.As such, the following instructions, used in conjunction with the Plunger AnalysisSoftware, will provide a means for the user to gather and display data that will behelpful in the successful operation of a plunger system with an XSeries Totalflowcontroller.The user’s guide is aimed at XSeries users who are familiar with setting up andcollecting trend files, either locally or remotely. As previously outlined, the user’smanual will walk the user through setting up the trend file necessary to collect thedata that is needed by the Plunger Analysis Software, ways to save the data forimporting into the software, importing the data itself, analyzing the data, savingand printing reports from the analysis.Currently, this program can only function properly if ALL trendingdata points are available. Particularly, the program WILL NOTcalculate correctly when data from a PACKER WELL is used.2104207-001 rev. AAPage 7

For additional help, contact ABB Totalflow technical support with questionsregarding the Plunger Analysis Software.If requiring assistance, call: USA: (800) 442-3097 orInternational: 001-918-338-48881.3Modes1.3.1BatchThe standard application can be run as a batch service if that service has beenpurchased. Command line parameters are passed when calling the executable.The batch service will analyze the entire plunger lift trend .*csv’s in a particulardirectory. The output will be recommended set point settings and other statisticaldata relevant for each well analyzed.1.3.2Graphical User Interface (GUI)This is the default mode. When the executable is double clicked the standardgraphical user interface is displayed and a *.csv file will need to be manuallyloaded via the toolbar or menu bar.2.0INSTALLATIONThe following information will detail the steps necessary for the user to install thePlunger Analysis Software onto their computer. It is assumed that the user haspurchased the software and has received the software disk and software keybefore beginning the installation process.2.1Software InstallationThe following assumes that the user is installing the Plunger Analysis Softwareonto their computer for the first time.1) Load the Totalflow application disk in the PC’s CD/DVD drive. The disk willinitialize. Once completed, the Totalflow Plunger Analysis Software screendisplays. Click the Modify radio button to install the new application onto theuser’s computer.2) Click the Next button.3) The Select Features window displays. Ensure the Default Feature box ischecked, and click the Next button.4) The program will begin loading. When it has completed, click the Finishbutton.5) When the User Information dialog box displays, the user needs to entertheir name and their company’s name. In the Serial Number field, type inthe serial number associated with the user’s version of the Plunger AnalysisSoftware. The serial number is printed on an insert inside the sealedenvelope that contains the software disk. Click Next.When typing in the serial number, the user needs to ensure thatthe number is typed exactly as it appears on the printed sheet toinclude dashes (-).6) This will complete the installation process for the Plunger Analysis Software.2104207-001 rev.

3.0TREND FILE SETUP FOR TOTALFLOW XSERIES UNITSThere is specific information that needs to be collected from a Totalflow XSeriesunit that is then consequently provided to the Plunger Analysis Software foranalysis. In this section, the user will be shown instructions on how to set up thecorrect trend to gather this information and how to calculate the amount of datathat the user will need.In general, the user will be trending five individual points of information using aspecific time interval that will allow for enough time to gather a minimum of tencomplete (from start of the closed cycle to the end of the after flow cycle) plungercycles based on the setup parameters of the unit.The information that needs to be collected for the trend file are: Casing Pressure Tubing Pressure Line Pressure Flow Rate Arrival TimePrior to starting the creation of the trend file, the user will need to record theapp.array.register for each of the individual information components (bulleted listabove) that will be added to the trend. Typically, the casing and tubing pressuresare being brought into the unit via analog inputs either onboard or on a TFIO AImodule. These are then subsequently defined in the Plunger application as inputsat 18.101.26 for casing and 18.101.16 for tubing (described in the Plungerapplication as Ext Pressure AI).Depending on the location of the valve and the Plunger setup, either upstream ordownstream, the tubing pressure may be the SP register from the Tubeapplication. Typical setup is for the valve to be upstream, and the Ext Pressure AIwill be used for tubing pressure.The line pressure for the Upstream Valve setup would come from the staticpressure reading of the Tube application at 11.3.0, or
