  • An Oklahoma Pattern pump jack and a W.C. Norris Underpull pump jack operated by rodlines from a Bandwheel Style Power in Southern Oklahoma. Bouncing rodlines crossing a creek.

    Looks and sounds awesome. Pure countryside and forest atmosphere with the cows and the creek.

    Interesting to see how the noisy, rattling rodlines straddle the creek and carve a groove in the wood support blocks. I've seen these jerkline oil pumps in operation in western Pennsylvania, western Ontario and central Illinois. Great video work and thanks for sharing!

      Thanks. When I was a kid my Dad had some leases similar to this back in the 60's. I used to walk down the rod lines and oil each of the support blocks (doll heads as everyone called them). Enjoyed spending good times with him out in the oil field.

    That is awesome that they preserved them and kept using the same equipment. It's like a museum piece.

    What an interesting piece of tech. Ca. 80 years of service and the wells still deliver oil.

    You hear a similar sound to the sound of the steel rods in the video when cracks form under the blades of the ice skates during black ice skating.

    I'd hang the rods with a fixed ring on a chain, stop them from dragging and rattling.

      It pumps into a separator then to a storage tank where it gets trucked out of

      Pipe that goes underground to a central tank, probably near the power house.
