The invention involves pressure-counterweighted oil-well pumping apparatus in which derrick structure of elemental simplicity involves components which are readily assembled and disassembled, such that a given pumping apparatus can be loaded on a single truck and transported from one to the next desired well-pumping location. For a given capacity pumping system, overall height requirements for the derrick structure are less than one half those of U.S. Pat. No. 4,631,918. And power-integrator complexity is substantially reduced by employment of a fixed-displacement variety in conjunction with a variable speed a-c motor as the prime mover, under control of solid-state devices and pressure-sensitive transducer elements which determine upper and lower limits of the reciprocating stroke.
