Common questions about plunger lift systems, bypass vs conventional plungers, and working with Tri-Lift Services in the Mid-Continent.
What is plunger lift?
Plunger lift is an artificial lift method that uses a free-traveling plunger and the well’s own gas pressure to lift liquids to surface. It is common on liquid-loaded gas wells and late-life oil wells where continuous lift is not the best economics.
When should a well use plunger lift?
Plunger lift fits wells that load up with liquids, have enough gas to drive the plunger, and benefit from intermittent lift. Operators often move to plunger lift as rates decline, or use GAPL/PAGL when the well needs help starting or sustaining cycles.
What is the difference between bypass and conventional plungers?
Conventional plungers seal and fall only when the well is shut in. Bypass plungers (including sliding-sleeve designs) allow fluid to pass while falling, so fall time is shorter and many wells can run with less shut-in. Tri-Lift builds both, including the patented Elite Anvil for sliding sleeve plungers.
What basins does Tri-Lift Services cover?
Tri-Lift is based in Crescent, Oklahoma, and focuses on Mid-Continent plunger lift work, including SCOOP and STACK, the Anadarko Basin, and Arkoma / Hugoton / Kansas. See our basin pages under Services for details.
Does Tri-Lift manufacture its own equipment?
Yes. Equipment is manufactured in-house in the U.S. at our Crescent workshop, which helps with quality control and lead times for plungers, downhole tools, and surface gear.
