If a Pipeline is connected to the outlet the Oil is automatically transferred into it rather than placed in the stockpile or a personal output slot.

| — In-game description |
The Oil Well is a player-built Facility Mine that automatically extracts Oil from Oil Fields. It does not require power to operate, but certain upgrades require it.
Construction
The Oil Well is built with a Construction Vehicle using Construction Materials. It must be built next to a Oil Field (max 3 per field).
Upgrades
Upgrade modules exist to add more production options. However only one can be installed on a facility. It cannot be uninstalled, but demolishing the facility will refund the upgrade cost. The upgrade options are listed in the bottom right corner of the structure's menu. The required materials must be either in the player's inventory or the structure's inventory. Certain technologies are required for some upgrades.

Modifications
If either upgrade is installed, a Pipeline can be connected to the outlet to automatically transfer Oil. With the Fracker upgrade a Pipeline can be connected to its inlet to automatically transfer Water to its internal tank.
A single Power Line can be connected to it to provide the power required for production. The line can be disconnected by pressing the "Disconnect All Power" 
button.
Demolition
The original builder, and squad members if reserved, can instantly demolish it 
if it was built less than 28 days ago. The materials used in the construction and upgrades are refunded and dropped under the player.
Reservation
The original builder can reserve it for a Squad 
for 52 hours in the menu to prevent non-members from modifying it, however the stockpile access is not restricted. The reservation can be refreshed 
by any squad member. If the reservation expires, the structure can never be reserved again.
Destruction
It is immune to Friendly Fire but it can be flagged for "Disruptive Structure Placement" 
to remove the immunity (5 "votes" needed).
Reconstruction
When destroyed, it leaves behind a "husk" that can be rebuilt. Reconstruction uses the same tool and materials as the construction. Rebuilding it restore its stockpile and production orders.
Actions Log
In its interface you can view the Actions Log 
to check the modifications done to it and the logs of production orders.
Use
You can access its interface when on foot or in a logistics vehicle by pressing E.
Production
A production order can be started by clicking the slide-toggle button on the desired production line: 
green means on, 
red means off, and 
yellow means paused. You can read the reason for the pause by putting your cursor on the slide-toggle button.
A player can only have one order running at a time at a given facility, however up to 5 orders from different players can run concurrently. The amount of active orders is shown at the top. If the limit is reached the subsequent orders are placed in a hidden queue.
Orders can be set to "Public" or "Personal" via the drop-down button at the top:
- Public: The inputs are automatically taken from the public stockpile or internal tanks for liquid inputs. The output is automatically submitted into the stockpile or automatically transfered through the pipeline outlet if either upgrade is installed.
- Personal: The inputs are manually transfered by the player by clicking or automatically taken from internal tanks for liquid inputs. Output is placed into a private output slot that holds the items for the player whilst production is underway. The output items can be retrieved with
RMB> "Retrieve" or as crates withRMB> "Retrieve as crates". If not retrieved, personal outputs are released into the public stockpile 28 hours after the order is complete.
Put your cursor on the question mark button 
on each production line to view the exact recipes.

Refuelling
With the Fracker upgrade installed, the internal Water tank can be refuelled manually or through the Pipeline inlet.
Storage
Its stockpile can hold up to 50 Petrol cans and 50 Water cans.
In its interface, you can press the Stockpile Actions Log button to view the logs of items retrieved from and submitted to the stockpile.
Trivia
- Prior to Update 1.50 (officially known as 'Inferno'), Oil Wells were permanent World Resource Mines that were placed in different locations every war. They used to produce Crude Oil barrels, which was only used to produced Petrol in a Refinery in a 3:1 ratio
- Unlike other World Structures, which used Petrol fairly quickly, filling up an Oil Well with Petrol would last several days, upwards of up to 11 days, before running out of Petrol
- When reimplemented for Update 1.50, the model stayed relatively the same, with adjustments made to include the addition of power cables, and facility upgrades
