So this pump is still pumping oil from the well today?
I understand its in the middle of a field, but where does the oil go? Is there a tank somewhere that a truck pulls up to every few days to take the oil to be refined, or is there a pipeline to a refinery somewhere?
@Stmtrolleyguy Now that you mention it, there wasn't a tank nearby but the discharge has to go to one eventually to separate the water before transfer to a refinery. The oil producers have been consolidating the tanks into fewer large groups, presumably for efficiency. They can now be a mile or two away.
In the panhandle, nearly all the wells are now pipelined to a refinery while the separated water is trucked for disposal.
@oldbogus in those 2 oilfields up north they go directly to a compressor station and into a pipeline to a refinery after the heater treater. no tanks required!

u could just put on a two foot sub and strip it over so you arent working so low these units suck to work under.. i work on one or two a year doing work overs or pump changes cellars are usually very nasty also.

@reynardfoxx
A compressor? You can't compress oil!
However, you could compress gas separated from oil.

That's probably a 8-10 ft. cellar. The carrier bar goes below the base of the unit.
