Oil well pumping in Wyoming

There are oil pumps scattered around Wyoming. This particular one is located on the side of Route 20, heading west. If you listen closely you can hear the pump's flywheel engine operating.

@permiangroup I was passing through while driving around the entire U.S. I am sad to say the opportunity won't come again anytime soon. As for your profession, I found the wells to be fascinating.
