A pumpjack, also known as a beam pump or a nodding donkey, is a mechanical device used to extract crude oil from an oil well. It is commonly used in onshore oil production and is characterized by its distinctive appearance, which resembles a horse's head nodding up and down. The pumpjack operates by converting the rotary motion of an electric or gas-powered motor into the alternating motion required to lift oil from a well.
