ABSTRACT:
The present invention may be used as an apparatus and method for extracting oil from a hydrocarbon material bearing formation. A well may be positioned in a formation having hydrocarbon material with a well casing extending into the formation that may have a number of apertures formed in the casing wall adjacent to multiple zones of interest in the formation. A hydrostatic separator may have a specific gravity approximately equal to an oil that may be extracted from the formation and may be positioned and anchored in the well casing above and adjacent to an upper level of said formation. An extraction pipe may be disposed interior to the well casing with a lower end positioned above and adjacent a separator top and may have an upper end attached at a well head. The well head may be in fluid communication with an oil storage unit and in communication with a pressure application apparatus.
