Abstract: Method and apparatus for removing water from a gas well to permit efficient production of gas while protecting formation from introduced pressures. The apparatus comprises a check valve that seals the casing from production zone when hydrostatic pressure of water from production accumulates in casing above production perforations and checkvalue exceeds formation pressure. When the casing is sealed, a compressor pressurizes gas into the casing but not an exhaust conduit, the top of the casing being sealed around the exhaust conduit, permitting communication between the conduit and a suitable destination, such as via liquid separators on into sale pipeline. Accumulated water is caused to flow into the bottom of the exhaust conduit and out at surface to collection. When pressure within the sealed casing to the top end of exhaust conduit is equalized, the checkvalve opens and regular production can resume.

Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatus for incinerating combustible wastes wherein a pilot light for igniting the wastes is provided at a location remote from a source of fuel for said pilot light. By the present invention, a pilot light burner is provided at the remote location and a fuel jet-ejector for producing a combustible mixture of fuel and air is provided at the location of the source of fuel. A first conduit connects the fuel-air mixture discharge connection of the jet-ejector to the pilot light burner and a second conduit connects the source of fuel to the fuel inlet connection of the jet-ejector. A third conduit is provided connected to the second conduit and to the pilot light burner for conducting fuel directly to the burner separately from the fuel-air mixture conducted thereto by way of the first conduit.
