<strong>ProOp</strong> PLUNGER LIFT SYSTEM
<strong>ProOp</strong> <strong>Plunger</strong> <strong>Lift</strong> <strong>System</strong><br />
REVOLUTIONARY PLUNGER LIFT TECHNOLOGY<br />
MAXIMIZES WELL PERFORMANCE AND PROFITABILITY<br />
The NOV ® Monoflo ® <strong>ProOp</strong> <strong>Plunger</strong> is an instrumented diagnostic tool that records pressure,<br />
temperature, and position as it cycles through the well. Using an advanced software program,<br />
diagnostic “pictures” can be quickly scanned for operational problems.<br />
With its collar locator and on-board sensors, the <strong>ProOp</strong> <strong>Plunger</strong> captures significant data<br />
such as:<br />
� Accurate plunger velocities<br />
� Auto collar count<br />
� Accurate fluid Levels<br />
� Bottom-hole pressures and temperatures<br />
� Holes in tubing<br />
� Operating efficiencies<br />
� Operational interference<br />
� Production effects from compression<br />
� Calculation of reservoir properties<br />
The wealth of collected data can be used to proactively manage your reservoir:<br />
� Evaluate well performance<br />
� Improve well operations<br />
� Increase well production<br />
� Reduce operating costs<br />
� Increase profitability<br />
The <strong>ProOp</strong> <strong>Plunger</strong> allows the field user to quickly initiate the plunger in preparation for easy data<br />
collection. The data can be downloaded onsite in the field via a laptop computer for instant evaluation.
Tools included with purchase of the <strong>ProOp</strong><br />
<strong>Plunger</strong><br />
� Water-proof and shock-proof carrying case<br />
� (2) ‘C’ Lithium batteries with battery protector<br />
� USB 1GB program stick with pre-installed software<br />
� USB cord and adaptor that connects computer to plunger<br />
Easy Connection for Field Use<br />
Unscrew top cap exposing the battery/USB interface adaptor<br />
and the battery cover. Connect the communications adaptor<br />
and then connect the USB cable to the computer and plunger.<br />

Design Use<br />
The <strong>ProOp</strong> <strong>Plunger</strong> is manufactured for use in wells installed<br />
with a plunger lift lubricator with a catch mechanism.<br />
There is approximately 14 days of storage capacity at a<br />
2 second acquisition rate for pressure, temperature, and<br />
digital depth measurement. The pressure sensor is rated<br />
to 5,000 psi.<br />

Battery Protector<br />
Lithium Battery<br />
USB Cable<br />
4 Pin Connector<br />
The plunger is designed to operate in wells with<br />
temperature ranges not to exceed 125°C, or 250°F. The<br />
plunger should not be run over 1,000 feet per minute.<br />
After installing the battery and battery protector, the top<br />
cap should be hand tightened so that the top and bottom<br />
caps are flush. To prevent thread damage, the maximum<br />
torque should not exceed 100 ft-lbs.<br />

<strong>ProOp</strong> <strong>Plunger</strong> <strong>Lift</strong> <strong>System</strong><br />
The Plot Tool Program allows the User to analyze the data acquired from the <strong>ProOp</strong> <strong>Plunger</strong>.<br />
Typical <strong>ProOp</strong> <strong>Plunger</strong> Cycle Data Reading<br />
The <strong>ProOp</strong> <strong>Plunger</strong> falls to fluid, falls through fluid, starts pressure buildup and then travels to surface.<br />
Any deviation from this typical plunger cycle behavior is indicative of changes in well behavior and<br />
operations such as facility malfunctions, line pressure increases, compressor loading, or possible<br />
interference effects from other wells in the battery.<br />
