[9] At the head of most wells is a device that is called a Christmas Tree. This is really a system of valves that controls the amount of oil which is allowed to flow to the surface. The Christmas Tree directs the oil into the storage tanks, where it is kept until it is shipped.
[10] After a well has been brought in,the derrick is usually pulled down, only to be put up at the spot where another well is to be drilled. The valves of the Christmas tree and the pipes leading from it will probably be the only sign left that there is a producing oil well in the neighborhood. This is quite different from many of the older pictures of oil fields, with derricks crowded together, often only a few feet apart. In fact, in a modern field the wells are usually spaced quite far apart, since it is more profitable to recover the same amount of oil with fewer wells.
[11] As more oil is removed from the field, the pressure of the original drive gradually decreases. Sometimes the natural pressure drops to a point where no more oil can be recovered from the deposit. Nowadays, various methods in addition to pumping are used to keep these deposits producing if there is an indication that more oil can be recovered.
[12] One technique is to pump water into the oil-bearing formation, pushing or displacing the oil ahead of it toward the production wells. This system restores water drive.Another technique that will restore natural pressure to the formation is to pump gas back into the oil-bearing layer.
[13] Wells occasionally become blocked by pieces of asphalt, wax, or other solid material. In this case, the obstruction can be dissolved by pumping an acid into the well.Another technique involves pumping water and sand into the well under high pressure.
[14] All of these techniques have enormously increased the amount of oil that can be recovered. In the early days of the industry, as much as 75 percent of the oil had to be left in the ground. With more modem methods, the figure has been reduced to 50 percent or less. Many fields that had been abandoned have been brought back into production. When a field is reworked in this way, it is called secondary recovery.
