## Description

Enjoy the thrill of prospecting for oil on your Android device.<br><br>Choose where to setup your drilling rig.  Press Play button to start, and x1, x2 or x3 to speed up the time.  When a problem occurs randomly an onscreen message will explain the problem and if possible the cost is to fix it,.<br><br>When you hit oil, your drill rig will be replaced with a pump.  You can then move the drill rig to a new location.  Should you give up or hit a dry well, you can move the drill rig or shutdown, which will let you use it again later on.<br><br>You start with one drill rig, later you can rent additional drill rigs.<br><br>Each “day” you are accumulating drill rig rentals and crew labor costs.  If you realize you have a dry well, consider moving the drill rig or shutting it down, which will stop the equipment rental and crew charges.<br><br>Five progressively more difficult levels should challenge all ages. Oil locations are randomly generated, so it’s a different game each time you play. <br><br>When you try to place a drill in a new area, it will let you decide whether your want to acquire a lease to drill in that new area.<br><br>You can also decide whether to pay for a geological survey with a map showing the most likely spots to find oil.  You can return to view the map at any time.<br><br>Optionally shares your accomplishments with social media, email, or instant messaging.
