What is a Continuous Flow Plunger?

In high-rate, mature wells, downtime can limit performance and reduce overall efficiency. Continuous flow plungers, also known as bypass plungers, eliminate shut-in periods by allowing production to move through the plunger as it descends, then shifting to the closed position upon bumper spring impact. More cycles per day support continuous liquid removal, lower bottomhole pressure, and increased production. The result is a consistently unloaded wellbore that enables higher output and improved daily production performance.

How It Works

Understanding Continuous Flow Plungers

The bypass valve allows flow during descent, ensuring no shut-in time.
Upon reaching the BHA, the valve seals, lifting liquids to the surface efficiently.
More cycles = Continuous fluid removal and optimized well performance.
