So on a private server we just started a new world, go out about a hundred blocks, and this is what we find. :O

What you should do is install UgoCraft and use that to build one of those big old Oil pumps, just for the look of it.
 
I am just still in awe, that's the biggest one I've ever seen. I wonder how lucky we are to find one of those near spawn. xD
 
I hate to disappoint you, but this is just a normal-sized oil well that happened to generate atop a tree. The oil flows down the leaves and spreads over a large area. Inside the pillar there is only a one block thick column of oil source blocks.

Yeah, we figured this out a few minutes after the post. D:
 
Yeah the oil geyser's in those forests are really deceiving. I had one taller than that that went all the way to bedrock in my last world it was crazy.
 
The height is counted from the highest top-most solid block. And for some reason EBXL leaves are considered solid. So the geyser is only a couple blocks tall.

Ah, ouch. On the bright side, easy oil to start with so an easy power source.
