The present invention is directed towards a fluid extractor system that has been
design to obtain fluid, such as crude oil from wells at a fraction of the cost
by using a novel canister assembly lowered in a well to collect the fluid. The
canister assembly includes a pump and a storage container for collecting the fluid
pumped into it by the pump. When the storage container is full the canister assembly
is brought to the surface and emptied. In one embodiment the canister assembly
has a battery to independently power the pump. A further feature of the invention
includes repeatedly raising and incrementally lowering down the canister assembly
to lower levels in the well using a jogging assembly to place the canister assembly
only in the top layer of the fluid in the well. The system could also be used for
recovering several other types of fluids in a well such as gas or water.
