Patent ID: 8708039

Claim:
A system for producing liquids from a gas well having a permanent packer and a tailpipe installed in the natural gas well where the system comprises: a) a pump comprising a barrel and a plunger, wherein the barrel is seated in and connected to the tailpipe, wherein the barrel is seated and connected near the lower end of the tailpipe, wherein the plunger is arranged for up and down pumping movement within the barrel; b) holes in the tailpipe above the connection of the barrel to the tailpipe, wherein the holes allow gas to proceed up the tailpipe and to the surface; and c) a string of hollow valve rod connected to the plunger and in fluid communication therewith, wherein the liquids drawn into the plunger during movement of the plunger up and down within the barrel exit the top of the plunger through the hollow valve rod, wherein the hollow valve rod includes a series of one-way valves to prevent particles that might settle in the liquid from descending below the one way valves, wherein the series of one-way valves are spaced apart so that liquids pumped up the hollow valve rod passes at least one one-way valve during each pump cycle.
