An apparatus for enhancing fluid and gas flow recovery in a well includes an upstream flow line (12) communicably connected at one end to the well in a manner to receive fluid and gas therefrom, a fluid and gas separator (16) communicably connected to another end of the upstream flow line (12) in a manner to receive fluid and gas flow therefrom, a downstream sales flow line (20) communicably connected to the fluid and gas separator (16) in a manner to receive gas flow therefrom, a control valve (26) operably disposed in the upstream flow line (12), a local controller device (100) operably controllably connected to the control valve (26) in a manner to permit regulated flow through the upstream flow line (12) at a predetermined amount and having a communications device (102) associated therewith, and a remote controller device (200) having a communications device (202) therewith, wherein the local controller device (100) and remote controller device (200) communicate with one another to enable remote control of the control valve (26). Also, a pressure differential control (24) is operably disposed in the downstream sales line (20) for comparatively sensing pressure differential in the downstream sales line (20) which is also operably controllably connected to the control valve (26) in a manner to permit regulated flow through the upstream flow line (12) at a predetermined amount in response to the sensed pressure differential. A method is also provided.
