  • 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!

  • @reynardfoxx

    A compressor? You can't compress oil!

    However, you could compress gas separated from oil.

  • @douro20 i meant a pumping station. sorry :)

  • 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.

  • L1lzk: Yeah. After you pump out all the muck! Must be fun. Lol.

  • where would you set up the the rod table on this unit? in the cellar?

  • The only thing that has a derrick is a rig

  • I have seen alot of oil derricks, but NEVER one like this. I enjoy seening all the different desings they have come up with. :D

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

  • OMG!!!

  • Aww, look at the little retarded one!!

    LOL just kidding. Everything has it's purpose in life I've never seen one like that before. Thanks for sharing.
