They are all around the area I live and other areas across Oklahoma on private lands but, a great many of them were not pumping when I have seen them. Don't know why.Was driving to St. Louis the other day. Once you hit the Illinois state line on 64 West you start to see a bunch of oil or gas pumps scattered about the large farms. These are prevalent all over Illinois. Most of them we’re actively pumping. Some had the flame vent for the gas. (Bizarrely close to the ground I might add, seemed like a recipe for a field fire). How much are these people getting for that oil or gas? What kind of regulations are they under?
