A jet nozzle is provided for drilling holes through the earth, such as drainholes around a well. The nozzle may include orifices for discharging fluid to drive the nozzle forward and includes a disk or other device having orifices to produce a swirling motion to fluid in the body of the nozzle. Swirling fluid is discharged from a front orifice and an extension is placed forward of the front orifice to confine the swirling fluid in a radial direction.

An apparatus for cleaning a natural gas well bore, the apparatus comprising: a vehicle providing in combination: a master valve for capping the well bore, the master valve supporting a blowout preventor and an injector head mounted thereon; the master valve interconnected with a pressure vessel through a vessel control valve; the pressure vessel interconnected with a compressor and with an outgoing gas pipeline through control valves; the compressor providing compressed natural gas from the pressure vessel to the well bore through the injector, head and the master valve through a tubing taken from a tubing reel and then inserted into the well bore. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a bypass line from the master valve to the pipeline. 3. The apparatus of claim 2 further comprising a check valve and a pipeline valve in a line between the pressure vessel and the pipline. 4. A method for cleaning a natural gas well bore, the method comprising the steps of: moving a vehicle mounted equipment having a compressor, pressure vessel and reel of tubing to a well site; capping a well bore with a master valve having a blowout preventor and injector head mounted thereon; interconnecting the master valve with a pressure vessel through a vessel control valve, interconnecting the pressure vessel with the compressor and with a outgoing gas pipeline through control valves respectively; providing compressed natural gas from the pressure vessel to the well bore through the compressor, injector head and the master valve with a tubing reel inserted into the well bore. 5. The method of claim 4 further comprising the step of providing a bypass line from the master valve to the pipeline. 6. The method of claim 5 further comprising the step of providing a check valve and a further control valve in a line between the pressure vessel and the pipline. 7. A method for cleaning a natural gas well bore, the method comprising the steps of: moving a vehicle to a well site, the vehicle providing a compressor joined with a pressure vessel and a tubing reel with coiled tubing; capping a well bore with a master valve having a blowout preventor and an injector head mounted thereon; interconnecting the master valve with a pressure vessel through a vessel control valve; interconnecting the pressure vessel with a compressor and with an outgoing pipeline through further control valves; providing a bypass line from the master valve to the pipeline and providing a check valve and a control valve in a line between the pressure vessel and the pipline; introducing the coiled tubing into the injector head and with the master valve open inserting the coiled tubing into the well bore; closing the blowout preventor to cause a seal around the coiled tubing; extracting natural gas from the well bore into the pressure vessel; compressing the extracted natural gas taken from the pressure vessel; injecting the compressed natural gas into the well bore; extracting well bore clogging materials from the well bore and into the pressure vessel; withdrawing the coiled tubing into the blowout preventor; closing the master valve; and compressing any remaining natural gas and delivering said gas to the pipeline.
