A pumpjack is used to mechanically
lift liquid out of the well if there is not
enough pressure for the liquid to flow
all the way to the surface. The size of
pump is determined by the depth and
weight of the oil to be removed, with
deeper extraction requiring more power
to move the heavier lengths of sucker
rods. The engineering term for this type
of mechanism is walking beam.
