Hey Everyone. I finally got the "advanced" oil well setup finished.
Goal of this was to use the build up natural gas inside the oil well
without: steam escaping through the gas pipes, gas pipes breaking,
water ending up in the crude oil pump, the room overpressureizing and breaking tiles,
or the buildings in the room overheating.
This is Version Number 18 by the way.
I had an ever evolving oil well setup which got too complicated and still didn't fix all issues i found with them.
So I had to comletely rework the design and make it simpler but still as robust as i wanted it to be (some old design in the discord).
I put all of previous oil well versions and this one in a stress test situation.
How I tested the advanced versions:
0. Dupes with no atmosuit skills and a machinery skill of 0 to 5 (then i exchanged them).
1. 10x Speed.
2. A little bit cooling allowed.
3. Only gold amalgam (for the pumps), copper, gold, ceramic for the insulation or simpler materials.
4.a For some time using Water up to 98,5-99 °C and let it run non-stop for some hours.
4.b For some time using Water excactly 90 °C and let it run non-stop for some hours.
(Water that is excactly 90°C is the most annoying; it's not cool enough to efficiently reduce the room temperature
and not hot enough to produce steam reliantly).
4.c For some time using Water of 27°C and and let it run non-stop for some hours.
(If the Water is under 90°C the crude oil will still always be output at 90°C).
5. For some time I let them run dry and started them again.
6. Setting of at least 75% back-pressure
7. Added more natural gas (in the temperature range the oil well does)
8. Added more steam (in the temperature range the oil well does)
9. Condensated the steam to see what happens
10. A mixture of all above
Conclusion:
This system should run with any water in the temperature range of 1-99°C.
If steam is produced the gas pump will be locked and the doors will be cooled.
The steam can then condensate back to water drop down and be sucked up by the pump to be recycled.
If water builds up in the system it is (most of the time) located in the left mesh tile
or it builds a thin layer on top of the (heavier) crude oil.
The next time a dupe comes and ventilates the back pressure from the oil well
the water will flash to steam because of the hot natural gas from the oil well
(this can take several verntilation-cycles depending on the water input temperature
and the temperature of the buildings in the room-setup)

The rest should be free to choice but i am not excactly sure
