Spanish term

tubo de barro

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Petroleum Eng/Sci equipment
From specifications for a PCP (progressing cavity pump) assembly.

Part of an "ancla de gas" (gas anchor). Supposedly of "Tipo Poorman", although I suspect this should be "Poor boy type".

"P39 x (tubo de barro de 3-½” con junta ciega de 3 1/2” con xx, xx o xx pies de largo) x (tubo de succión de 1-1/2” OD x 1” ID con 20 ó 40 pies de longitud)."

@Phil. Good gsolid materialsuess. It is the tube/pipe that transports the drilling mud which is used to coo the drill and to transport solids out of the well.

Note: Clay tube/pipe is not a suitable material for drilling operations.

drilling mud pipe

Drilling mud pipe.

As Bigedsenior says, and as your text hints, this is a pipe that transports drilling mud. Note that the text assigns a function (i.e. suction) to the other pipe in the passage. Drilling mud pipe pushes drilling mud in, suction pipe removes it, along with debris, and thus the well is made deeper.

neutral philgoddard : THis is possibloe, but I think you need Spanish and English references.
