About Black Gold: Oil Drilling Simulator

Black Gold: Oil Drilling Simulator is the complete standalone game, a single-player first-person management simulation set during the early-20th-century oil boom. Starting from undeveloped ground, you take direct responsibility for turning a rough drilling site into a working oil business.

The operation begins with physical groundwork: clear land, fell timber, process materials and assemble the first derricks. Pumps, gears and other machinery demand maintenance as wear and rust build up, so production depends on keeping the equipment running as well as finding oil.

Expansion adds people and business decisions to the manual work. Hire and train a crew, improve their living conditions, sell crude oil and reinvest the income in territory, period technology and stronger infrastructure. Town buildings bring further options, including skills, advanced upgrades, contracts and optional night shifts.

Play centres on a hands-on cycle of construction, upkeep, extraction and reinvestment. The first-person viewpoint keeps you close to every machine, while staffing, upgrades, transport and random events gradually broaden the decisions behind the oil field.

Key Features

  • Build the oil field: Prepare the land, process timber and construct derricks from the ground up.
  • Maintain working machinery: Replace worn parts, manage rust and keep pumps and engines operating.
  • Run a growing crew: Hire and train workers, then improve the home base to support morale and efficiency.
  • Turn crude into capital: Sell extracted oil and reinvest the earnings in technology, equipment and new drilling territory.
  • Develop the town: Acquire buildings that unlock skills, higher-level upgrades, vehicle construction and government contracts.
  • Respond to changing days: Read about random events that can affect the operation and use map markers to locate them.
  • Move and automate: Drive a transport vehicle and assign workers to machinery as the site becomes more complex.
