Fascinating. Is crude oil extra corrosive or is it something in the environment? Ocean salt water is highly corrosive but then what about equipment on land? Is there something that could be done to make an idled investment last longer?

Not so much corrosive as it is finite. A wheel will gather some oil, and then it's gone, and you need to dig another one.
