2. Pumpjack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpjack

   A pumpjack is the overground drive for a reciprocating piston pump in an oil well. [1] It is used to mechanically lift liquid out of the well if there is not enough bottom hole pressure for the liquid to flow all the way to the surface. The arrangement is often used for onshore wells. Pumpjacks are common in oil-rich areas.

3. Water well pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_well_pump

   These pumps, often submersible and powered by electricity, can access water reserves located much deeper than shallow wells, ensuring a consistent supply even during periods of drought. They include different kinds of pumps, most of them submersible pumps: Hand pump, manually operated; Injector, a jet-driven pump; Mechanical or rotary lobe pump ...

4. Sucker rod - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucker_rod

   The line of sucker rods is represented in this diagram by the solid black line in the center of the well. A sucker rod is a steel rod, typically between 7 and 9 metres (25 and 30 ft) in length, and threaded at both ends, used in the oil industry to join together the surface and downhole components of a reciprocating piston pump installed in an oil well.

5. Pumping (oil well) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumping_(oil_well)

   In the context of oil wells, pumping is a routine operation involving injecting fluids into the well. Pumping may either be done by rigging up to the kill wing valve on the Xmas tree or, if an intervention rig up is present pumping into the riser through a T-piece (a small section of riser with a connection on the side).

   Man cleaning a well in Yaoundé, Cameroon Hand pump to pump water from a well in a village near Chennai in India, where the well water might be polluted by nearby pit latrines. Shallow pumping wells can often supply drinking water at a very low cost. However, impurities from the surface easily reach shallow sources, which leads to a greater ...

7. Archimedes' screw - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_screw

   The screw pump is the oldest positive displacement pump. [1] The first records of a water screw, or screw pump, date back to Hellenistic Egypt before the 3rd century BC. [1] [3] The Egyptian screw, used to lift water from the Nile, was composed of tubes wound round a cylinder; as the entire unit rotates, water is lifted within the spiral tube to the higher elevation.
