Money Pit

This image of the business end of an oil field pump jack was captured with a beautiful
Saskatchewan Canola field in the background. Located outside of Weyburn this image clearly
shows the Walking beam, Horse head and bridle of the unit.

These units extract the oil emulsion from the ground by lifting it when there is insufficient
bottom hole pressure for the liquid to flow to the surface.

The name money pit seems so relevant in these days of increasing oil prices.
