Hello, this suggestion follows FFF 355 where the HR oil well is presented.

TLDR : make a new, animated, oil well design which conveys a "high value", "precious black gold" feeling.

The crude oil spills design looks a bit outdated, especially if you compare it to new ore patches & new water. An animated version would be great, maybe with more deep black & rainbow reflections, to convey the idea of a precious resource, like green glow does on uranium.

I must admit I'm not exagerately fond of this idea. TBH, I have no idea what a good oil well should look like as it's a pure video game invention. Oil does not make puddles on the surface, so determining what should be the right representation is not an easy task.
