The game

Half the game happens underground

You start with one patch of Texas and one pump. You end up running pipelines, tankers, contracts and crews on several fields at once.

Three wells drawing from one half-empty deposit

Find it

The sonar reads the ground like an MRI: depth, size, odds. Then you steer the drill. It turns around boulders and branches into the deposit next door.

Pumps sharing tanks through surface pipes

Build the network

Three pumps can drain one deposit, and one well can reach three. Pumps share tanks through surface pipes, so the layout of a field is a real decision.

Play the market

Over the story a barrel swings between $40 and $170. Sell to the local buyer at half price today, or park the oil in the warehouse and wait for the headline that moves the market.

Move the oil

Tankers haul from your tanks to the warehouse, to the buyer and to contract clients. Refineries, railroads and the army pay more if you deliver on time.

Build a crew

Operators take over the routine: hauling, selling, contracts, repairs. Group them into teams and give a whole team one order.

Expand across Texas

Ten fields to buy, each with its own ground, deposits and infrastructure. The mail brings the news, and Tex keeps an eye on it all from his rocking chair.

Texas doesn't sit still

Tornadoes at night, a burning refinery, snow on the desert. Story events shake the market, and the oil price follows the headlines.

The refinery on fire at dusk — Refinery fire

Snow on the Texas oil field — Snow in Texas
