ABSTRACT:
A casing gas pump is reciprocated by the pump jack of an oil well. Push rods slidable within rigid vertical cylinders are connected by a bridle bracket to bridle cables depended from the pump jack horsehead. Vertical reciprocation of the horsehead moves pump leathers connected to the push rods up and down within cylinder bores. The cylinders are vertical, non-pivoting and fluidly connected to a header. The header is connected to the annulus of the well and to a gas line. Check valves prevent back flow from the header into the annulus and from the gas line into the header. The pump leathers form reciprocating pistons that are formed and assembled to avoid pulling a vacuum on the annulus.
