US Patent:

6460622, Oct 8, 2002

Filed:

Apr 6, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/827446

Inventors:

Timothy F. Rice - Palm Harbor FL

Assignee:

Global Energy Research, LLC - Tarpon Springs FL

International Classification:

E21B 2700

US Classification:

166369, 166 53, 417 36, 294 6822

Abstract:

Apparatus and system control for the removal of fluids and gas from a well comprising winch means for removing the oil, a temporary storage tank, a bailer tube, first, second and third bailer tube guide pipes axially aligned to each other, means for exhausting and recovering a natural gas, the bailer tube being capable of being lowered into and elevated from the well casing through the temporary storage tank such that captured oil can be discharged into the temporary storage tank, sensors for monitoring operational parameters including the depth of oil and depth of a top level of water in the well casing, and a programmable logic controller means for providing system control so that only oil is removed from the well casing by using a logging sequence and a balanced oil production operational sequence.

Appl. No.:

09/960130

Inventors:

Timothy F. Rice - Tarpon Springs FL

Assignee:

Global Energy Research, LLC - Tarpon Springs FL

International Classification:

E21B 4300

US Classification:

166369, 166 53, 417 36

Abstract:

Apparatus and system control for the removal of fluids and gas from a well comprising a winch for removing the oil, a temporary storage tank, a bailer tube, and a bailer tube housing assembly axially aligned with the well casing. Natural gas is exhausted and recovered. The bailer tube is capable of being lowered into and elevated from the well casing such that captured oil can be diverted and discharged into the temporary storage tank. Sensors monitor operational parameters including the depth of oil and depth of a top level of water in the well casing, and a programmable logic controller provides system control so that only oil is removed from the well casing by using a logging sequence and a balanced oil production operational sequence.
