How is your directory setup? Do you have 6 a folder static in /home/user/www/oil/oil_database/static_files? In that case, the directive 5 should look like this (note the trailing 4 slash in /static/):

location /static/  {
    autoindex    on;
    root /home/user/www/oil/oil_database/static_files;
}

If you want to map the path /home/user/www/oil/oil_database/static_files to 3 the URL /static/, you have to either

rename the folder 2 static_files to static and use this directive:

location /static/  {
    autoindex    on;
    root /home/user/www/oil/oil_database/;
}

use an alias:

location /static/  {
    autoindex    on;
    alias /home/user/www/oil/oil_database/static_files/;
}

See 1 the documentation on the root and alias directives.

I have a similar config for my Django sites, but 2 I think you want to use alias instead of root for 1 your media. For example:

location /static {
    alias /home/user/www/oil/oil_database/static_files;
}
