Optimizing oil well production is very necessary nowadays.As oil prices are moving high, very few new oil reservoir discoveries and environmental norms leads us to think for optimizing production from wells. optimizing a well production based on previous workover history, production history and future operational and maintenance aspects is very important.oil well having crude containing paraffin and asphaltene may cause various production related problems. scale deposition is one among them which is very serious and care must be taken to prevent it.scaling of tubing is a very serious issue which oil and gas industry is facing today. scaling may lead to serious disaster which is loss of money and life of a well. This book discusses about a new technology to overcome this loss and enhance oil production thus, minimizing the operation and maintenance cost. Plunger assisted intermittent gas lift technology will minimize scale and paraffin deposition and also enhance oil production from a well. With help of this technology low gas injection rate is required which will increase the profitability from an oil well
