This feature has been labeled as deprecated. The recommended replacement is: landuse=industrial + industrial=wellsite.
The reason is documented in Deprecated features. You are still free to continue to use or interpret this tag as you see fit since OpenStreetMap does not have “banned features”.

This tag is at once

  • extremely narrow - making unlikely that data consumers will support it
  • ambiguous - well may pump oil but may pump also for example potable water or waste water from mine

Instead use landuse=industrial + industrial=wellsite for oil well areas. This unambiguously refer to petroleum well sites.
