[Tagging] Oil fields - how to tag?

[François Lacombe]

Hi

Additionnaly, it's recommended to use dedicated tag instead of industrial=*
(or as general man_made)
Eg. power substation are mapped as power=substation and not
industrial=substation
oil=wellsite sounds great

Think about using man_made=pipeline + substance=oil to link wellsites to
processing facilities

All the best
