If you are asking about an automobile engine, in most cases the oil pump is driven by timing belt, so it operates whenver the engine is running.

Does a 1997 Buick park ave have an oil pump?

If it doesn't have an oil pump, the engine will seize right after you start it. If this has a 3800 engine (I think it does) the oil pump is mounted to the inside of the front timing cover. The crankshaft passes through the oil pump directly driving the pump, so there's nothing that can break to prevent operation of the oil pump.
