ABSTRACT:
A source of acoustic pressure pulses is coupled to the surface casing of a well so that they are transmitted down the well and reflected by the gas-liquid interface. A transducer is also coupled to the well to produce an electrical signal in response to direct and reflected acoustic pulses occurring in the well. Gating circuitry responds to the transducer for starting and stopping the counting of clock pulses by a digital counter. The digital count controls a pump so that the liquid level in the well is precisely controlled between desired levels.
