I always thought those were called Derricks. Are derricks and oil wells essentially different words for the same thing?
No they are not different words for the same thing. An oil well is hole in the ground that taps into a reservoir of oil. A derrick is a lifting apparatus erected or raised for the drilling of a well. The machine you see her turn on is commonly called a “pump jack” or “nodding donkey” or simply a pumping unit. Go to A Zach Life on here to find out more.
Maybe a little more….when she says she’s turning on her oil well, it can be confusing. She is turning on her oil well pump. A motor on the machine produces rotating power which gets converted to reciprocating power. The reciprocating motion powers the polishing rod or sucker rod, which she touched to see if it was hot. Way down in the well, at the end of the sucker rod, is a pump which pushes the oil and gas up to the top, where it then gets piped to a separator or condenser, then into tanks or to something that can use it right away. So she turned on the flow of her oil well. She turned on her oil well pump. So since she turned on the flow, she says she turned the well on. Does that make sense?
😍😍
Thanks for showing us that! How many barrels a day and cubic feet of gas do you get a day from your well? What you are calling the condenser is also the separator? Thank you!
Yes, you are right. It’s a separator. I have always called it a condenser anyway it makes about 1.5-2 barrels a day. Don’t know how much gas per day but it’s enough to heat everything on the farm
In the summer when you’re not using gas ware does it go?
It’s just stored in the ground. We don’t run the well in the summer.
@HomegrownPassion ok i thought presser had to be released daly or weekly sorry.
Always something interesting in your videos. Thank you for the oil well education. What happens to the brine that is collected ?
There is a brine hauler that comes and gets it. I hear most is used for salting the streets and is also injected back into the ground in old, depleted oil reserves.
Pretty neat. I grew up in NW Pennsylvania in oil country. 20 miles from the first oil well in the US and home to many oil refineries. So many people have small wells still operating on their properties more than a century old!
Yeah if you can do the maintain yourself it works out great. Doug’s grandparents were N of Meadville and had a small well on their farm that was over a 100 years old and it still was producing enough gas to heat the farmhouse. Pretty cool. We have been told there is enough gas to last a couple hundred years
It goes directly from there to the heater/furnace?
Yes. we run it thru a couple of drips to make sure there is no moisture and its good to go
I was always told that if you found oil or gas on your property that the government would imminent domain your property and sell it to an oil or gas concern. How did you avoid that?
No, actually what usually happens is you find out some crooked deal was made a hundred years back or so and someone else actually owns the minerals under your property.
Thats right. We were able to get our mineral rights back and then the oil well because the family who originally had the rights did not live up to the lease and walked away from the well. This was a huge gamble putting money into this well to see if we could get it going. We really wanted the NG. The oil is a big added bonus.
