pumping, I guess


Explanation:
Since they are talking about "pompage", then surely they are talking about pumping. If the context gives you any reason to believe otherwise, then please share it (hence less than 100% sure confidence level).

Downhole pumping systems are commonplace. As are downhole drilling systems, of course, but pumping is pompage and drilling is forage.

système de pompage de pétrole en fond de puit
submersible petrol pumping system


Explanation:
Most likely it is related to fuel dispensers (petrol stations) and less likely to exploitation (crude oil is exploited only). 'en fon de puit' is submersible anyway. If US, you may want to use 'gasoline' in place of 'petrol' ;). Most Goooogle results include 'gasoline'.

disagree  xxxBourth: "Pétrole" is crude oil, not "petrol" or "gasoline".
