| 1. A reciprocating hydraulic compressor capable of pumping liquids, gases or liquids mixed with gases with
multiple single-acting compression stages,
a heat exchange means wherein heats of compression are used to heat fluids,
external valving contained inside said heat exchange means,
a control valving means monitored by hydraulic pressure,
a compression control means for using pressure and composition of subterranean fluids from an oil and gas well to control
the rate of compression of said subterranean fluids, and
a distribution control means for using said pressure and composition of said subterranean fluids to control the distribution
of said subterranean fluids for recovery and injection.
