ABSTRACT:
A method for collecting percolating fluids including selecting a first location in the formation at which the fluids are to be collected, accessing a second location in the formation laterally disposed relative to the first location, forming a passage extending from the second location into the first location and collecting fluid percolating from the formation into the passage.
An apparatus for collecting percolating fluids in a formation including a conduit having an internal passage, a distal end portion and an opposite proximal end portion and at least one opening extending through the conduit into communication with the internal passage.
An apparatus for installing a work object in a first location in a formation from a second location within a work area bounded by internal surfaces and laterally disposed relative to the first location, the apparatus including a frame adjustable as to length having opposite end portions and a pair of guide rails, a locking assembly for releasably securing the frame in a configuration adjusted as to length in which the opposite end portions of the frame engage the internal surfaces within the work area to capture the frame in the second location, a carrier mounted on the guide rails of the frame adapted to receive the work object and to be moved on the guide rails along a path of travel to carry the work object from the second location into the first location of the formation and a moving assembly mounted on the frame for moving the carrier along the guide rails to move the work object along the path of travel.
