Natural Gas Engine & Pump Jack : Dugan Production Moncrief

A natural gas engine powers a pump jack to de-water Fruitland coal, allowing the coal to desorb methane, powering the engine...which has a delightful rhythm, straining and slowing on the upstroke. The exhaust seemed to have a bit of fruity essence to it

Needs a little more weight.

I live on the east coast so these things are very foreign to me. Are these protected at all? You can literally drive up to these and not be trespassing? How do the companies stop vandalism etc?

[@Dog.soldier1950]

The bodies are buried near by

[@garypaisley]

Wells closer to town or busy roads are often fenced with a locked gate. Since shooting is prohibited in this area (Glade Run Recreation Area) , there is little vandalism that I've seen.

It sounds out of balance, the engine struggles more going up than down
Or the other way around, seems more like it
