Abstract: Provided are systems and apparatus for improving the production of hydrocarbons from a liquid loaded well. More specifically, plungers for pushing a slug of liquid up a production tubing string of an underperforming well are provided. The contemplated plungers employ pads, shifting rods, or unique outer profiles. In addition, bumper spring assemblies for arresting the downward motion of a plunger are provided.
