One jack might not make enough for but 30 people... but as many as 45 jacks could run off a larger stationary engine, enough for a small town of over 1000. Of course modern wells are deeper... and wells like this drying up are what forced us to go deeper, and then to start fracking when that started running out. You would need 1000 such lines to maintain enough oil at those flow rates for minimal modern society to function... most likely the flow rate was much higher in the hay day of these pump jacks.
