Want a producing well pad for your Farming Simulator 25 setup? MTEX Well Pad gives you a West Texas-style pad based on a Permian Basin lease. You get an animated C-456 pump jack, separator, heater treater and 3-tank battery, all fitted onto one 43 × 39 m pad.
How you get one
Build it from the shop as “M-Tex Well Pad (pump jack + tank battery)”. Look under Misc or Production > Factories in the build menu, or check M-Tex Oil when using the M-Tex store category. It costs $275,000 to buy, and you can rename it or sell it later.
The M-Tex Drilling Rig can handle placement for you too. Once a well is finished, the rig automatically sets down this well pad, placing the wellhead on the rig’s well centre before removing the rig. Its shop price already includes that well pad. The rig does not re-level the pad during placement, so it stays on the gravel the rig levelled earlier, or on TerraFarm ground if you formed the site that way. If the Well Pad mod is not loaded, the rig waits until it is active and retries the swap every 10 seconds.
Buying the pad yourself from the shop levels the spot as it goes down, including a gravel pad and a dirt lease-road entrance.
Specifications
- This is a typical mature Permian (Midland Basin) vertical rod-pumped well scaled for the game: 20 bbl of oil per real day and 3 bbl of produced water per bbl of oil, giving a 75% water cut.
- Since 1 game day equals 1 real week, the pad adds 22,258 L of crude per game day and 66,775 L of produced water. The crude uses
ORF_CRUDE, the same fill type as the M-Tex tanks and refinery. - The game clock controls production, so leaving, sleeping and skipping time all count. Storage and production are saved with the pad, and multiplayer is safe because the server decides.
- Fill the crude storage and the pump jack stops at a high-level shut-in. It starts again when a truck hauls oil. Full water storage sends extra produced water down a buried SWD line, keeping the well pumping.
- There is room for 111,291 L of crude, which equals 5 game days of production or 700 bbl. At 5x time scale, the well takes about 24 real hours to shut in because of a full tank.
- Produced water storage is 133,549 L, covering 2 game days.
- Nothing is delivered into the pad. It only loads out.
- Truck loading happens outside the battery fence in a gravel bay with room to turn around. Crude or produced water loads at 500 L/s using a standard AI load node.
- A 30,000 L crude trailer fills in about 1.35 game days, or about 6.5 real hours at 5x.
- At the load-out stand, you can see a valve, camlock and drip bucket.
- Price: $275,000.
- Daily upkeep: $2,450.
- Multiplayer supported.
- The $2,450 daily upkeep is based on the real lease operating expense of a rod-pumped Permian well: about $350 per real day for power, pumper, chemicals, repairs and water disposal, times 7 real days per game day.
Features
- The animated M-Tex C-456 pump jack works from a concrete base with a rod-pump wellhead. Its own chain-link fence and double gate enclose it, and the jack runs at 8 strokes per minute while the well is producing.
- Everything fits into a compact 43 × 39 m layout, with the 3-tank battery right behind the jack.
- A buried flowline carries things to the M-Tex horizontal separator. From there, a header on pipe stands goes to the M-Tex heater treater and into the tanks. There is no flare and no containment ring.
- The M-Tex 3-tank battery uses weathered dull-galvanised shells, complete with rain streaks, rust at the seams and fittings, and dust at the base. Galvanised stairs and a walkable catwalk are included.
- The treater and cabinet sit inside a chain-link equipment fence, with a grey electrical cabinet placed on a concrete pad.
- You get the M-Tex models for the pump jack, tank battery, separator and heater treater, copied into this pack. Because of that, those other mods are not required at runtime.
YOU NEED: Petroleum Products, which defines the ORF_CRUDE fill type.
