Oil Well Drilling review

Introduction

Oil Well Drilling is a simulation game that was developed by Brain Power Studio and published by Zylom. The game is set in the early 1900s where the player assumes the role of a driller who must drill various levels underground to find and extract oil to sell to a large company. The game has three different modes: Career, Take-Off, and Instant Action. Career mode is where the player can play for a set number of years and then retire. In Take-Off mode, the player can start drilling on a level with a set amount of oil that must be extracted. Instant Action mode is where the player can start drilling on any level with a full inventory of oil.

Gameplay

Oil Well Drilling is a simulation game that focuses on drilling into the ground to find oil and extracting it. The player starts out with an inventory of oil and must buy the equipment needed to drill. The player can purchase a drilling rig, a derrick, a drill pipe, and a drilling mast. Once the right pieces of equipment are purchased, the player can move to a level and drill. The player needs to drill in a certain direction to find the level of oil, but the oil will show up on the map as the player drills. Once the right level has been found, the player can drill the oil until the inventory of oil is full.
