CEO Three Plus Plunger-Lift Controller Overview

eP’s CEO Three Plus plunger-lift controller is designed to meet remote requirements by using ultra low-power electronic technology. The CEO Three Plus controller's design incorporates all the proven SCADA and remote-terminal-unit (RTU) functions of other wellsite intelligence products, making it the most complete and advanced plunger-lift controller available in today's marketplace. The controller records data from the 50 previous cycles, including on cycle pressures, off cycle pressures and arrival times.

CEO Three - Intelligent well site control for plunger lift wells.

The CEO Three Plus controller offers a broad range of control mechanisms: time-based, using system pressure inputs; pressure-based; single-, dual- and triple-valve; and flow rate and differential pressure.

Applications of the CEO Three Plus Plunger-Lift Controller

  • Simple plunger-lift operations
  • Basic pressure-based plunger lift and intermittent control
  • Entry-level automation projects
  • Stand-alone optimization
  • Rod-pump optimization
  • Soap-injection optimization

CEO Three Plus Plunger-Lift Controller Features, Advantages, & Benefits

  • CEO Three - Intelligent well site control for plunger lift wells.MODBUS™ communication protocol enables the controller to poll and centralize information from local smart peripherals, reducing the complexity and cost of wellsite configuration.
  • A single radio retrieves all necessary information from the wellsite, reducing operating expenses.
  • Simple controls and settings allow for easy configuration, minimizing operator error.
  • Single-integrated-package design withstands harsh environments, providing superior control from even remote locations.
  • The controller can interface with most host systems, using radio (licensed spread spectrum and Ethernet), satellite and cellular channels for communication that use industry-standard protocols.
  • On cycle of differential pressure control can be initiated by a given pressure or by a differential between any two pressures. Off cycle can be initiated by any pressure, by a differential between two pressures, or by a differential across an orifice indicative of flow.
  • Time-, pressure- and flow-based control logic provides flexibility, real-time optimization and control.
  • Local display allows for field interface capability.
