Tbf, there are other infrastructure that aren’t the literal wells of oil, take refineries for example, they are central to the operation, are harder to replace than a bit of pipeline, typically the end point for many pipelines.
Though all of these factors make them much more likely to be targets and to also have much greater security. Still functionally even if you manage to take one down it won’t make a difference in the grand scheme of things.
Add on that most refineries are likely designed with fire breaks/fire suppression systems nowadays so it probably won’t even have an knock on effect
I’m sorry but I really don’t believe there is any environmentally friendly way to blow up an oil refinery, either. Those products would likely be even more processed and hazardous than the crude oil in the pipeline.
Now, occupying an oil refinery, and disassembling as much as you can while inside, contaminating batches, cutting wires, that’s another story.

That’s more what I meant, destroying the infrastructure they’re using to extract the fossil fuels, as opposed to trying to destroy the source.
