Some years ago I worked for Four Star Oil Co. in Oil City, La. They pumped several wells with this system. We called it a shackle line. Instead of cables, they used 5\8inch "sucked rods". The engine used to power the system was fueled by the wells natural gas flow.

Gov't would want some form of tax on that now. Nothing free when gov't involved.

That is the music of the jerker-lines, they sing just before it rains.

I see they must run a separate pipe to pump the crude directly on the gears in the engine house

The gears are lubricated by a trough of oil at the bottom. With every rotation, the gears will self-lubricate by passing through the trough. Other friction points can be manually greased with a grease gun, oil can, or oil cups. With proper maintenance, these machines have been running for years.

This has nothing to do with drilling a well. This is pumping a well after it has already been drilled.

You are correct. Jerker Lines were used in the past and continue to be used today to pump oil out of the shallow wells in Oil Springs. This technique for harvesting oil fit in with the overall theme of Oil Drilling Techniques when we made this original series several years ago.
