Simply put, a pump jack is used as a control mechanism which can assist when pressure is insufficient or when pressure is to strong.

IMO the later is the case for Collins Hemi-1 and the reason for a pump jack.

Good to see you're back again USC Cowboy, I could have sworn that you wrote off HMGP and the HMGP board a week or so ago.

Yes, it'll flow. But as what, and into what? How would it be controlled if you just "let it flow"...

Yup, just let it all come bubbling out on it's own... That's the ticket. Nevermind that the gas coming up through the liquids will steal the hydrocarbons from the oil as it passes through... I mean, after all, the oil is ONLY the more valuable product. Might as well strip it down and make sure it brings less money when Hemi goes to sell it, right?

I mean, who would want to control the flow of all three products, and who would want to make sure each of the three products is produced in it's most valuable form, right?

It's a moot discussion anyway, because the FACT (as evidenced by the pictures, and backed up by statements in previous PRs as posted on this board, and also explanations offered by Zguy, if one had bothered to read it) is that they ARE and HAVE BEEN using the pump jack, and it has served it's purpose wonderfully.

This by no means indicates an absence of pressure exactly as Hemi has PR'd it. But your statements indicate an absence of knowledge about the uses for a pump jack on the scale used typically in SE Kansas, such as on this Collins well.
