ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for producing fluid from a wellbore using a reciprocating pump which moves a sucker-rod string through the wellhead of the wellbore, a catch basin is carried by the wellhead in the vicinity where the sucker-rod string exits from the wellhead, the basin being located so that liquid leaking from the wellhead flows down the wellhead and into the basin, sump means spaced from the wellhead and a first conduit means in open communication between the basin and the sump means for draining fugitive liquid from the wellhead into the sump means, and second conduit means carrying first valve means and being in communication between the wellhead and the sump means so that a visual inspection of the liquid passing through the wellhead can be achieved by opening first valve means and viewing the nature and character of the liquid that flows from the wellhead into the sump means.
