View of a jack pump at an oil well
Oil pump. View of a pump,known as a jack pump or a "nodding donkey",at an oil well. The pump draws oil out of the ground through a series of non- return valves (not seen here). Newly-drilled oil wells often contain oil at a high enough pressure to force the fluid out without pumping. As the oil is removed,the pressure falls. For a time,the pressure can be maintained by pumping water or air into the subterranean reservoir of oil. Eventually the pressure falls further and a jack pump is required to bring oil out at an economic rate. Even using jack pumps,generally only 30-50 per cent of the oil can be extracted.
