About the Game

Welcome to the Oil Rush

Black Gold: Oil Drilling Simulator puts you right in the muddy boots of a pioneer chasing the ultimate fortune. This is a first-person management game where success isn't handed to you it’s built with sweat, grease, and raw ambition.

Carve an Empire from the Dirt

You don’t just buy an oil rig; you build it. Start by clearing the land, chopping timber, and processing the materials needed to erect your very first derricks. Every plank laid and structure raised is a direct result of your hard labor.

Grease, Rust, and Roaring Engines

Machinery is the beating heart of your operation, but these iron beasts need constant babysitting. Listen to the rhythm of the pumps, replace grinding gears, and fight off the ever-present rust. If you don't maintain your equipment, the elements will gladly take it back.

Your Crew, Your Lifeline

You can't drain the earth dry on your own. Hire a rugged crew to handle the heavy lifting. Train your workers to boost efficiency, and don't forget to upgrade your home base. Better living conditions mean higher morale, unlocking new ways to streamline your growing business.

Strike It Rich

Selling that first barrel of crude changes everything. Watch your funds skyrocket and immediately reinvest. Research early 1900s tech, expand your drilling territory, and replace rusty valves with industrial marvels. The race for wealth is unforgiving, but the payoff is legendary.
