Abstract: A pumping method, principally for oil, allows the sucker rod to fall under gravity for the first part of the downward stroke, then decelerates the sucker rod to a slow rate of descent, so creating a pause in the sucker rod's motion. Shock-absorbing means are provided to eliminate the impulsive loadings imposed upon the sucker rod at either extremity of its motion in conventional pumping methods. Hydraulically and mechanically-driven apparatus is disclosed for carrying out the method.
