Abstract

An electromagnetic ram for use in artificially lifting fluid from a well and in particular an oil well. The disclosure also teaches a method and system employing the ram. The use obviates existing systems used today in terms of cost, environmental concerns, optimized mechanical efficiencies and maximizing overall production of wells on a case by case basis.

Claims (16)

1. An apparatus for pumping fluid from an oil well, comprising:
a pump jack apparatus having a well head positioned over a well, a pump disposed within said well and a support structure for supporting said pump and said well head;
an electromagnetic ram connected to said pump and said support structure for controlling movement of said pump; and control means for controlling said electromagnetic ram during pumping of oil from within said well.
2. The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein said electromagnetic ram is actuated electrically.
3. The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein said electromagnetic ram is actuated pneumatically.
4. The apparatus as set forth in any one of claims 1 through 3, wherein said support structure includes sensor means for sensing movement of said electromagnetic ram.
5. The apparatus as set forth in any one of claims 1 through 4, wherein said sensor means includes said control means.
6. The apparatus as set forth in any one of claims 1 through 5, further including a flow meter for monitoring flow of oil from said well.
7. An apparatus suitable for use in an oil well for pumping fluid from an oil well, comprising:
a well head;
a support structure connected to said well head;
an electromagnetic ram connected to said support structure;
a polish rod connected to said electromagnetic ram;
pump means connected to said polish rod for pumping said fluid from said well; and conduit means for transporting recovered fluid pumped from said well.
8. The apparatus as set forth in claim 7, wherein said ram is a pneumatic/ electromagnetic ram.
9. The apparatus as set forth in claims 7 or 8, wherein said pump jack further includes actuation means for actuating said electromagnetic ram.
10. The apparatus as set forth in claim 9, wherein said actuation means for actuating said electromagnetic ram comprises an electrical power system.
11. The apparatus as set forth in claims 9 or 10, wherein said actuation means for actuating said electromagnetic ram comprises a pneumatic system.
12 12. A method of pumping fluid from an oil well containing fluid, where said well includes:
a well head positioned over a well;
a pump disposed within said well; and a support structure for supporting said pump and said well head, said method comprising:
providing an electromagnetic ram connected to said pump;
actuating said electromagnetic ram; and pumping fluid from within said well.
13. The method as set forth in claim 12, further including the step of controlling the movement of said pump by movement of said electromagnetic ram with controller means.
14. The method as set forth in claims 12 or 13, wherein said ram is actuated electrically.
15. The method as set forth in any one of claims 12 through 14, further including sensing stress at said pump.
16. The method as set forth in claim 15, further including controlling movement of said electromagnetic ram in response to said stress at said pump.
