Silhouette of a single pumpjack at sunset in the field in Vatry, Marne, France. Beautiful blue cloudy sky. June 2020. A pumpjack is the overground drive for a reciprocating piston pump in an oil well. 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.
