Operators face persistent deliquification challenges as wells mature, which reduce production and increase downtime and operating expenses. SLB provides a complete portfolio of PCS Ferguson™ plunger lift solutions to restore flow, reduce lease operating expenses (LOE), and improve well performance by harnessing the well’s own energy to efficiently lift accumulated liquids. Backed by decades of industry expertise and advanced automation capabilities, SLB delivers reliable, economical liquid unloading across a broad range of well conditions.

SLB offers more than 1,000 engineered plunger configurations to suit diverse well conditions—including high GLRs, low pressures, low pressure, solids production, and horizontal well geometries. This enables operators to tailor cycle efficiency to specific reservoir behavior.

A full suite of lubricators, sensors, and wellhead components has been designed for durability and ease of installation—streamlining implementation and minimizing nonproductive time.

High-strength, wear-resistant materials and coatings ensure dependable performance in wells producing scale, sand, paraffin, or corrosive fluids.
