Pumpjacks mine the crude oil from the oil fields, and let you carry it by pipe as seen in the Liquid network/0.9
Pumpjack
Crude oil is extracted by pumpjacks from oil fields. Each oil field can be covered by a pumpjack only at one spot. The pumpjack will then output an amount of crude oil dependent on field's yield (1 oil unit for 100% yield) per second.
Extracting oil lowers the field's yield with the speed depending on oil extracted (thus bigger fields will deplete faster) to what seems to be a lower limit of 10%.
Pumpjack's are limited to an output of 10 crude oil per cycle (10/s unmodded) needing a 1000% field to achive. Higher field values won't increase crude oil flow any further.
Pumpjack's output tile location is fixed relative to its orientation.
Tips
If oil fields are depleted (to the minimum of 10%) speed Modules are a good option to raise the pumpjacks output. With two Speed module 3's the output doubles from 0.1 to 0.2 and even more when using additionaly Basic beacons.
