Oil Director: Tycoon Sim

One leased block in Texas. A rented rig. A bank that wants its money back. Oil Director is a real-time strategy game about building an oil company from a single wildcat well into a supermajor. The oil price never stops moving, your wells start declining the day they come on, and every barrel you pump has to get somewhere before your tanks fill up. FIND THE OIL Bid for licences, shoot seismic and watch the reserve estimate narrow from a wide guess to something you'd bet on. Then drill. The exploration well is the big gamble: months of rig time, millions of dollars, and at the end of it either a discovery or a dry hole. PUMP IT Turn a discovery into a field. Drill development wells, fight the decline curve with stimulation, artificial lift and enhanced recovery, and keep the maintenance budget high enough that wells stay up. Stand still and production shrinks, so exploration never stops…
