FS25 MTEX Well Pad V1.1
MTEX Well Pad brings a West Texas-style producing well pad to Farming Simulator 25, based on a Permian Basin lease. The 43 × 39 m pad contains an animated C-456 pump jack, separator, heater treater and 3-tank battery.
How you get one
Find the shop item “M-Tex Well Pad (pump jack + tank battery)” in Misc or Production > Factories in the build menu. If you use the M-Tex store category, it appears under M-Tex Oil. The purchase price is $275,000, and the pad can be renamed or sold.
After a well is completed, the M-Tex Drilling Rig can place this well pad automatically. It aligns the pad with the wellhead on the rig’s well centre and then removes the rig. The pad is already covered by the rig’s shop price. No re-levelling takes place when the rig places it. Instead, the pad remains on the gravel previously levelled by the rig, or on TerraFarm ground when the site was shaped that way. If the Well Pad mod is not loaded, the rig remains in place until the mod becomes active and attempts the swap again every 10 seconds.
Buying the pad directly from the shop levels the placement area, creating a gravel pad and a dirt lease-road entrance.
Specifications
- The well represents a typical mature Permian (Midland Basin) vertical rod-pumped well, producing 20 bbl of oil per real day and 3 bbl of produced water for each bbl of oil, a 75% water cut.
- With 1 game day equal to 1 real week, daily production is 22,258 L of crude (
ORF_CRUDE, the same fill type used by the M-Tex tanks and refinery) and 66,775 L of produced water per game day. - Production follows the game clock. Time spent away from the site, sleeping and skipping time is included. The amount is saved with the pad’s storage and works safely in multiplayer, with the server making the decision.
- Once crude storage reaches capacity, the pump jack stops through a high-level shut-in. It starts again after a truck hauls oil. When the water storage is full, additional produced water is sent through a buried SWD line, allowing the well to continue pumping.
- Crude storage is 111,291 L, equal to 5 game days of production or 700 bbl. At a 5x time scale, a full tank takes about 24 real hours to shut in the well.
- The produced water storage holds 133,549 L, or 2 game days.
- The pad has no delivery function. It only loads out.
- Outside the battery fence, the truck load-out is set on a gravel bay with turning space. Crude and produced water load at 500 L/s through a standard AI load node.
- A 30,000 L crude trailer takes about 1.35 game days to fill, which is about 6.5 real hours at 5x.
- The load-out stand includes a valve, camlock and drip bucket.
- Price: $275,000.
- Daily upkeep: $2,450.
- Multiplayer supported.
- Daily upkeep represents the real lease operating expense of a rod-pumped Permian well. This is about $350 per real day for power, pumper, chemicals, repairs and water disposal, multiplied by 7 real days per game day.
Features
- An animated M-Tex C-456 pump jack stands on a concrete base with a rod-pump wellhead. It is enclosed by its own chain-link fence and double gate, and operates at 8 strokes per minute while the well produces.
- The compact layout measures 43 × 39 m, with the 3-tank battery positioned directly behind the jack.
- A buried flowline runs to the M-Tex horizontal separator, followed by a header on pipe stands leading to the M-Tex heater treater and then into the tanks. There is no flare or containment ring.
- The M-Tex 3-tank battery has weathered dull-galvanised shells with rain streaks, rust around seams and fittings, and dust at the base. It also has galvanised stairs and a walkable catwalk.
- A chain-link equipment fence surrounds the treater and cabinet, while a grey electrical cabinet sits on a concrete pad.
- The pump jack, tank battery, separator and heater treater use the M-Tex models copied into this pack, meaning those other mods are not required at runtime.
YOU NEED: Petroleum Products, which defines the ORF_CRUDE fill type.
