Patent number: 9856728Abstract: A method for pumping fluid at a wellhead. The invented method will improve liquid removal by eliminating the need to transport liquid produced from a well to containment facilities using trucks or large diameter pipelines capable of accommodating periodic surges of a high volume of fluid. The danger that the liquid will freeze in cold weather is also addressed. The invention removes liquid from the well site through a small diameter pipeline as a continuous flow at a constant flow rate.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2016Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: CNX Gas Company LLCInventors: Joseph M. Fink, Richard M. Wright

Patent number: 6932168Abstract: An improved method for making a well for removing fluid from a desired subterranean formation. This invention provides for a method for making a well for removing fluid from a desired subterranean formation having an interface zone. The interface zone is coupled to a main directional well bore that extends from a top surface at ground level into the desired subterranean formation. A lateral well bore is also coupled to the interface zone. A directional sump bore is also coupled to the interface zone and the directional sump bore extends from the interface zone to a point below the interface zone. There is also a means for moving fluid from the directional sump bore through the main directional well bore to the top surface.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2003Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: CNX Gas Company, LLCInventors: Claude Morgan, Geoff W. Fanning, Joseph P. Aman, Brian Varcoe, Robert Kolkmeier, Robert Stayton, Richard L. Toothman
