Question:

how is water pumped from deep wells?

ok water can't sucked up more than 10 M height in normal atmospheric pressure some well s are deep more than 10 M even some water aquifers are deep more than 200 m what are technologies used to pump water to ground level BQ- how is crude oil pumped from far deep oil wells (some offshore oil platform pump oil from more than 2000 m deep ocean and another several hundred meters deep from sea beds )

Answer:

water can't sucked up more than 10 M height in normal atmospheric pressure. This is why pressurized systems are used.
WELL CRUDE OIL ARE UNDER PRESSURE ALREADY. WELL OIL BURST OUT. SOMETIME BLASTED. SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS ARE BETTER OPTION, IF REQUIRED. STORAGE OIL CAN BE TRANSPORTE/MOVE BY USING CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS.
Pumps develops centrifugal force! It converts mechanical energy into pressure which pumps out from well!
You push it from the bottom. Home water wells have a plastic hose and a power cord along side and the pump is attached to the end and lowered down the hole and pushes the water up the hose. Oil wells are commonly pressurized, but where not that donkey engine you see in oil fields is attached to a long rod or cable and at the bottom of the hole is a pair of valves and a piston and the mechanism pulls the oil in the lower valve and pushes it through the upper valve and that pushes the previous oil up the pipe.
