ABSTRACT:
A microcontroller system for oil and gas wells using a plunger lift device, which responds to the variations in well production and operation. The system requires minimal operator input, and is able to calculate the operational cycles and adjustments to maximize well production and maintain environmental safety using non-linear artificial intelligence processes.
