Abstract: A mounting system made up of a valve isolation assembly comprising first and second inlet ports and first and second outlet ports along with a pair of crossable pressure lines made up of first and second pipes. The first and second pipes respectively define first and second upper ends and first and second lower ends. The first and second pipes also define first and second middle portions. The upper ends of each first and second pipe are operably coupled to the first and second inlet ports of the valve isolation assembly. In one embodiment the first and second middle portions each define a quarter right-handed helix turn. In another embodiment the first and second middle portions each define a quarter left-handed helix turn.

Abstract: A submersible water pump and a dewatering system comprising the submersible pump. The submersible water pump includes a housing and an outer tube. The housing includes a housing dividing wall and a cylinder head having a bore therethrough through which the outer tube fits. The housing is in slidable engagement with the outer tube and the housing dividing wall. The dewatering system with the submersible pump is used to pump water from vertical coal bed methane wells.

Abstract: A safety valve system for removing down-hole tools from a coal-bed methane well. The system includes first and second horizontally opposed stuffer-blocks, a stuffer-box housing for housing the stuffer-blocks, a means for attaching said stuffer-box housing to a coal-bed methane wellhead, and a means for delivering fluid to move the stuffer-blocks between an open position and a closed position. In one embodiment, the safety valve system further includes a controller, at least one methane sensor, a stuffer-box position sensor, and a stuffer-block activation system. A control algorithm is stored on or in communication with the controller enabling the controller to control the position of the stuffer-blocks, moving the stuffer-blocks between an open and closed configuration, wherein the stuffer-blocks are maintained in an open configuration if the methane level is below a predetermined threshold level. The valve system may further comprise a free-rotating stripper-diverter atop of the valve system.
