AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a device for extracting fluids from a well. The device includes a system for raising and lowering a canister assembly using a wire line. The device also has a system to detect any slack in the wire line and alert the operator about it. This helps to stabilize the operation of the device during use. The method for controlling the device involves using the wire line tension detection system to ensure safe and successful operation of the device.

Problems solved by technology

Various problems are encountered because operators cannot be sure when the canister assembly contacts the oil or fluid in the well.
One problem encountered is slack in the wire line when the canister assembly reaches the oil or fluid in the well and stops descending in the well at the same speed the wire line is descending.
The slack can build up quickly and lead to problems.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]The present disclosure relates to a fluid extraction apparatus 10 for removing oil, or other fluids, from a well. Referring now to FIG. 1, the fluid extraction apparatus 10 includes an extractor operation assembly 12 for lowering and raising (and providing operational aspects to the fluid extraction apparatus 10) a canister assembly 14 down into a well via a wire line 16. The fluid extraction apparatus 10 also includes a wire line tension detection system 18 to determine when the canister assembly 14 contacts fluid in the well. The wire line 16 can be a metallic rope with a coating disposed thereon. The extraction apparatus 10 can include any known components that make a traditional extraction apparatus 10 operate reliably.

[0014]The extractor operation assembly 10 controls the feed out wire line 16 to lower the canister assembly 14 into the well. As shown in more detail in FIG. 3, the extractor operation assembly 12 can include numerous common components (mechanical and electr...

Abstract

A fluid extraction apparatus for raising and lowering a canister assembly into a well, the fluid extraction apparatus includes an extractor operation assembly for raising and lowering a canister assembly. The canister assembly is raised and lowered into a well via wire line. The fluid extraction apparatus further including a wire line tension detection system to detect a slack condition in the wire line and send a signal responsive to the slack condition to the extractor operation assembly. A method for controlling the fluid extraction apparatus includes the step of lowering the canister assembly into the well via the wire line and running the wire line through the wire line tension detection system.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a conversion of U.S. Provisional Application having U.S. Ser. No. 62 / 518,675, filed Jun. 13, 2017, which claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. 119(e), the disclosure of which is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not applicable.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE1.
