Intermitter for gas lift wells
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6178091
An intermitter for raising liquid in the tubing of a gas lift well and including a balance beam having a container mounted on one arm and a counterweight on the remaining arm and a stationary reservoir above the container is described. A valve arrangement operated by a low pressure air line causes liquid to flow back and forth between the container and the reservoir at regulated intervals. The resulting tilting of the balance beam opens and closes a valve which introduces high pressure air or gas into the well annulus for raising liquid in the tubing. (3 claims)
