The present invention relates to a liquid evacuation device for an extraction well. The device comprises a tank presenting a liquid accumulation area. The tank is connected to a gas evacuation tubing. An insulant limits a flow of fluid between a wall of the tank and a wall of the well, from a first space formed between the insulant and the well bottom to a second space formed between the insulant and the well head. A first opening on the tank enables circulation of a gas-liquid mixture from said first space to a third space formed in the gas evacuation tubing. A second opening on the tank enables circulation of fluid from said second space to the liquid accumulation area. The first opening is made between the liquid accumulation area and the connection to the evacuation tubing.

Device for discharging liquids accumulated in a well

The present invention concerns a system for extracting the liquids from a well producing liquid and gas. The system comprises a separation wall defining, in the well, a first space and a second space; a liquid-gas separator; and a system for eliminating separated liquid. The first space is suitable for conveying a mixture comprising the gas and liquid from a production area to the separator. The separator is suitable for separating the gas and liquid from the mixture. The second space receives the liquid separated from the mixture. Finally, the elimination system is suitable for eliminating the separated liquid using at least the gravitational potential energy of said separated liquid in the second space.
