we had a gas well installed and im looking for info on pumps to keep the water out so i dont have to get it bailed all the time. the ones around here seem to use jerk pumps that are down the well at the bottom . were can i find one?

look into using molecular sieve to dry the nat gas

I'm looking for a good photo of a working private gas well with tank next to it. If anyone has one I'd like, please let me know
thanks

I am in southern IN and a few miles away they have supposably hit a very large gas reserve and I would like to know about getting a well drilled for private use or if feasable maybe leasing the ground for a well if I can get free gas from the well

Hey Aaron, my natural gas regulator has frozen. It's fed from a private gas well. I'm trying to thaw it and make sure it doesn't freeze again. Any ideas? Thanks, MJ

Where to buy the gas water pump for gas well?
My well is 800 feet deep.

I am thinking about buying a house with a gas well.
Is it dangerous? Is it really free? Is there maintance involved? I appreciate any information.

Thanks,Mary

It is really free. If the well is under production with a company, probably the lease has a yearly limit. If you go over the limit you are charged whatever the rate is in the nearest city for the amount you went over. If it is a domestic well you can use as much as you wish.If it is a domestic well make sure you get the well transferred into your name. This is something that is usually overlooked because wells are considered personal property rather than real estate. You can get more information on the Ohio Department of Natural Resources website.They are not dangerous if treated with respect when working with them.Pressure can get pretty high and you have to use sense when working with pipes and valves, as far as the homeowner is concerned heating the house is not dangerous.If you are in Wicklife , probably the well is in our area if you have any questions contact me. Make sure you get the mineral rights.

we just bought a well in pa.. house is running on it, but what do I need to capture it into Liquid form for powering vehicles? also interested in running a generator or turbine..

I looked into that a couple of years ago. I don't believe there is a liquid natural gas (LNG) vehicle available. Honda sells a compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle, the GX, and recommends the "Phill CNG refueling appliance" for home refueling. It's a compressor designed to compress the gas directly into your cars high pressure tank. The only problem is that Phill is NOT recommended for well gas use due to the impurities present. As well "city" gas is formulated for specific combustion properties that burn within the parameters which certain modern devices require. I know my stove and hot water heater burn okay but would I risk toasting a 20k car? You can have your well gas tested to see if it is okay for your intended use. Well gas is often corrosive and may burn hotter as well.

The other option that I discovered is Phill's big brother. These compressors are designed for well gas but are much more expensive.To store CNG requires high pressure tanks and dryers. There would be a bit of engineering involved in setting up your own compression, storage and pumping station. It would be interesting to figure out if and when it would ever become profitable.

Best wishes,

I was told that my property sat over the biggest natural gas vein in southern Ohio, but I'm as dumb as a bag of hammers when it comes to that sort of stuff. I do know that the neighbors a mile or 2 down the road have a well also. The company that drilled the well went out of business shortly after they finished on my property. Im NOT interested in selling but might be interested in leasing or at least getting the gas hooked up to the house I plan on building there. I am SO open for suggestions.....HELP!!
