I don't anyone was talking about a derrick in the middle of the plaza, but even if they did, it would just be disguised to look like something else and no one would even no it's there. I live out in Eldorado and if there were oil wells out here by me it wouldn't both me one bit. Hell, if someone wanted to put one at the back of my property I'd be fine with that and gladly welcome to the royalty checks every month.
I grew-up in southern California and oil derricks, wells, and platforms are everywhere. They're often disguised to look like other things. Even locals often have no idea they are there. And of course sometimes there out there in the open too... no big deal. People still move to LA and OC in droves and tourists still flock to Disneyland and the beaches. I'm sure it would be the same in Santa Fe.
