Ported Plunger

Ported Plunger

The Ported Plunger, available with a solid or ribbed seal surface, features a port or small hole that allows it to fall 20-30% faster than a standard conventional plunger.

This design is typically used in wells that build up liquid faster than the conventional plunger's fall time, helping to shorten the closed cycle. However, ported plungers are less efficient than other types due to the flow-through port, requiring a higher gas-to-liquid ratio (GLR) compared to conventional plungers.
