PATENT OFFICE.
THOMAS B. GAROTHERS, on OIL 0m, PENNSYLVANIA."
IMPROVEMENT IN DEVICES FdR STEA MING OIL-WELLS.-
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 139,656, dated June 10, 1873; application filed August 27, 1672.
.To all whom 2;; may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS E. CAROTHERS, of Oil City, County of Venan go and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Device for Steaming Oil- Wells; and I do hereby declare that the fo1- lowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing making part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
The figure on the drawing represents a vertical section of the invention.
My invention relates to an improved device for steaming oil-wells,,and consists in introducing, within the casing and outside of the tubing, an additional pipe to extend below the tubing, said pipe being perforated about two or three'feet above the bottom of the well,
the perforations continuing up to near the top of the sand-rock. Steam from a steamchest is forced down through the perforated pipe, thereby melting and clearing out from the oil veins or crevices all the paraffine and other extraneous matter clogging them, thus supplied with steam from a-steam-chest the supply can be regulated at the will of an attendant by means of a cock in the pipe. a a a, a represent perforations in said pipe.
Steam from the boiler passes through a sup ply-pipe to a steam-chest; from thence to the pipe for steaming the well, said pipe extendin g down through casing-head to the bottom of the well, the steam-pipe being perforated about two or three feet above the bottom, said perforations extending upwardly to near the top of the sand-rock. Jets of steam escaping through perforations in the pipe tend to melt and clear the oil veins or crevices from parafiine or other extraneous matter, thereby.
hi THOMAS B. x GAROTHERS.
