Incredible what we found in this well! We pulled this we’ll pump up that was still working! Age?

What happens here

To manage the long and heavy pipe assembly, the worker utilizes a pipe wrench or a similar heavy-duty tool to engage and unscrew threaded sections of the well pipe. This allows for the disassembly of the pipe into shorter, more manageable lengths as it is being pulled from the well. The corrosion on the pipe can make this task particularly challenging.

Goal: Separate the long well pipe into manageable sections.
