Oil pump at an oil well. This machine is commonly known as a nodding donkey or jack pump
Oil pump at an oil well. This machine is commonly known as a nodding donkey or jack pump. It is used to draw crude oil from a well. Jack pumps are used when the pressure difference in the well is not sufficient for the oil to flow to the surface of its own accord. Photographed in Lodgepole, Alberta, Canada

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases an oil pump, also known as a nodding donkey or jack pump, in action at an oil well in Lodgepole, Alberta, Canada. The industrial marvel depicted here plays a vital role in the extraction of crude oil from deep within the earth's surface. The image perfectly captures the technological prowess involved in this process. The jack pump is employed when natural pressure alone isn't sufficient to bring the precious resource to the surface. With its rhythmic up-and-down motion, this powerful machine draws out crude oil and transports it for further processing and refining. Located amidst the picturesque Canadian landscape, this photograph serves as a reminder of North America's significant contribution to energy production through fossil fuels. It symbolizes both progress and reliance on nonrenewable resources like petroleum. Mining equipment such as this nodding donkey represents cutting-edge technology that drives our modern transportation systems and powers industries across Canada. Its suction power is unparalleled, making it an essential tool for extracting valuable fuel sources. As we admire this awe-inspiring image captured by Science Photo Library, let us appreciate not only its visual appeal but also recognize how crucial these pumping mechanisms are for meeting our ever-growing energy demands.
