The Halo 3 remake of Lockout is an Oil Rig. I was under the assumption that it was a reserch station, but it very well may be used for that too. There are actual confirmed oil rigs on Reach however, as shown in Nightfall. It's also interesting to note that even on Reach, the most developed planet other than Earth still has very isolated sections, and other than by space tether, fuel may not have always been available in the form of hydrogen, with varied types of power sources, such as large wind generators seen in the First level of Reach. Other colonized planets may even be well-developed in concentrated areas, but are hardly explored, as ample resources are present to sustain rather large cities so such a need for baser fuels may not be needed. This is shown in the Halo: Wars level Arcadia. Other colonized planets like Harvest are a mix of both, utilizing local resoures to fit specific needs.
One thing still puzzles me; Why was the Artifact on Harvest not discovered sooner when there is a militay base remarkably close?.
