Oil is the black gold that runs our economy, yet is rapidly decreasing in supply. Large conglomerates are scouring the world hunting for elusive pockets of oil.

Join the hunt, in both the North Sea and Gulf Of Mexico using a massive array of tools and equipment to bring valuable fossil fuels to the surface!

A wide range of missions, puts you in control of operations. After locating your drilling site you must use heavy cargo ships to transport the components of your platform for assembly. Once assembled, using specialist floating cranes, you are responsible for the smooth flow of oil from the platform to refinery. Manage a fleet of super tankers to ensure that your oil is distributed around the world.

Yet, maintaining your oil quota involves much more than just setting up your drill. You must use all the equipment at your disposal to maintain the flow in the face of breakdowns and equipment wear and tear, from replacement drilling heads and pumps to calling in the services of repair ships.

To maintain profitability against your competitors a wise operator will also regularly modernise the whole drilling enterprise with the latest in technology, with a raft of upgradeable components, carefully balancing expenditure and income.

An extensive array of tutorials will guide you on the path from novice prospector to oil mogul as you scour the depths and become an icon of industry.

Only the most skilful engineer and enterprising entrepreneur can drill into the deep, striking black gold and fuelling a successful career in oil exploration!
