Plunger lifts are excellent artificial lift systems and they come in all sizes and applications. Several service providers such as Weatherford have plunger product lines that can be installed in rigless setting. Essentially most plunger lift can be installed using a device called tubing stop, that acts as a profile in the tubing (at calculated depth) on which the plunger downhole assembly (bellow spring, etc) are seated. This way the plunger lift equipment is installed without pulling the current completion hence without a workover rig.
We are in the process of writing a detailed series on gas well deliquification techniques in which plunger lift is discussed in detailed. You can head over and read through for more information.
Dont hesitate to let ask if you need any more information.
