Title: Richard H. Binks: Innovator in Oil Well Pump Technology
Introduction
Richard H. Binks is a notable inventor based in Fullerton, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of oil extraction technology. His innovative approach has led to the development of a unique fluid-operated pump system designed specifically for oil wells.
Latest Patents
Richard H. Binks holds a patent for a "Jet pump for oil wells." This invention features a fluid-operated pump system that utilizes power fluid supply means, which can be derived from the annulus between well casing and production tubing or a secondary tubing. The production tubing is set within a well, and it includes a housing at the lower end that communicates with the power fluid supply means. The pump unit, which includes a fluid-operated jet pump, is designed to be movable downwardly through the production tubing into the housing. It is maintained at a fixed location by gravity and friction forces. The pump operates by using pressurized operating fluid supplied through the power fluid supply means to pump fluid from the well into the production tubing. A cavity at the lower end of the pump unit, situated between two balanced seals, communicates with both the power fluid supply means and the fluid-operated jet pump. This design ensures that power fluid introduced into the cavity does not exert a net force on the pump unit, allowing for efficient operation.
