Abstract:
A method of enhancing fluid production from a well is provided. A downhole plunger having the maximum permissible outer diameter for the well is installed in the well. Methods and apparatus for determining the maximum permissible outer diameter for a downhole plunger for use in the well are provided.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of determining whether a downhole plunger having a first outer diameter can travel freely within a well, the method comprising the steps of:\n dropping a drive plunger in a tubing of the well below a measuring sleeve, the measuring sleeve having an outer diameter equal to the first outer diameter and the drive plunger having an outer diameter smaller than the first outer diameter; allowing the drive plunger and the measuring sleeve to fall in the tubing; and if the measuring sleeve becomes lodged in the tubing, concluding that a downhole plunger having the first outer diameter cannot travel freely within the well and using the drive plunger to dislodge and surface the measuring sleeve; or if the measuring sleeve does not become lodged in the tubing, concluding that a downhole plunger having the first outer diameter can travel freely within the well.
