if you are modeling 30s to 60s you can leave the derricks in place they were called standard derricks back then and they built one for each well that they drilled most of the wells back then flowed oil to the surface on there on. and if they did need a pumping unit they just installed it under the derrick that was allready there. they used the standard derrick to do any work on the well they would string up a set of blocks in the derrick and pulled the tubing out of the well. the small town I live close too as started putting them back up for tourist to see. the town was known at one time as the worlds richest acre
