Spanish term or phrase: tubo de barro
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)."

drilling mud pipe


Explanation:
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.
