Oil Refinery is a Production Building which produces  Oil from Oil Well modules placed on oil deposits within the refinery's radius. It can be built in the Old World (and Cape Trelawney) and the New World. The refinery must be connected to an Oil Harbour via Railway. Oil can be then used to power an Oil Power Plant or Power Station to provide electricity to buildings.

For more information about electricity, how to generate it and provide it to buildings, see: Electricity.

Productivity

With one oil well it takes 15 seconds to produce 1 ton of oil so the production rate is 4 tons of oil per minute per well. Productivity can be changed by adjusting working conditions and using items.

Oil Well

Oil Well is a resource extraction module for oil refineries, which enables the production of oil. Each oil well increases the base productivity of the refinery it belongs to by +100%, without affecting the maintenance cost, attractiveness impact or workforce requirement of the refinery. Oil well has to be built on top of oil deposits located within the radius of the refinery, the well's size is 3x3 since this is the size of the deposits. It does not need any road connection and cannot be affected by city incidents.
