Description
More than half of Louisiana's oil is produced by pumps like this one which is in a semi-shallow field just upriver from New Orleans. The glamor wells are the ones which are flowing with gas pressure, but the bread-and-butter still comes from the old reliable pumps, which are put on the well after the gas pressure has dropped.
