Abstract
This is a quick and simple oil exploration and production game for students doing a short course in petroleum geology. Students, working in groups as ‘companies’ make decisions on where to explore, how much to invest in exploration and when and where to drill wells. In the production phase, the current oil price determines the profitability of some fields. The game is run by the instructor using a BASIC computer program on a microcomputer. The program generates the results of exploration from data sets, keeps track of the state of exploration in all the areas and prepares financial statements. The game is designed to be played by a group of students in a single lab/practical session of two to three hours.
