Abstract:

A method of lifting liquids from a formation using a plunger lift assembly. The method includes dropping a multi-component plunger lift assembly from a wellhead and into a wellbore. This is done in response to a release signal or in response to a wellhead being shut in. The wellbore has a deviated section which may extend to horizontal. The multi-component plunger lift assembly includes a cylindrical plunger and a sphere. These components are released into the wellbore simultaneously. In response to reservoir formation gases passing into the wellbore, the method also includes allowing the plunger lift assembly to move up the wellbore and to the wellhead, thereby pushing liquids upwardly towards the wellhead.
