HYDRAULICALLY DRIVEN GAS RECOVERY DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE
A gas recovery system where a submersible compressor is in combination with a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor is actuated by a pressure differential between hydraulic power lines extending between the motor and a pressure generation means at or near the surface. Hydraulic fluid serves to actuate device components and regulate the temperature of the down hole compressor. A monitoring system evaluates, communicates, and records operation parameters so that they may be adjusted to ensure a constant volume of produced gas. The device may operate at variable speeds to accommodate changing downhole pressure conditions.
