摘要 |
The method of the present invention provides a means to intake hydrocarbon fluid, including any accompanying ground water or earthen contaminants, into the subsurface lower end of a tubing system. Compressed gas is then used to purge the hydrocarbon fluid from within the tubing system to a hydrocarbon production fluid storage tank or other handling facility at surface. Other than hydrocarbon fluid and gas movement, the ball of a subsurface intake valve is the production system's only moving subsurface component.
