How it works
From the wellhead to your wallet in four steps
- 01
Mint a rig
Each rig is an NFT with its own class and production multiplier. Its well slots are where you drill.
- 02
Drill and pump
Strike crude or gas, then ride the pressure. Push a well harder for a bigger haul, if you can keep it from blowing.
- 03
Refine and sell
Turn crude into diesel and jet fuel, then sell at the market index or fill a tanker contract for a premium.
- 04
Export for XOM
Ship barrels through the export terminal and they turn into XOM, up to a daily quota per rig. New XOM lands every week, and you claim it whenever you like.
Gameplay
A game first, with a market underneath it
Short shifts with real decisions: how hard to push a well, what to refine, when to sell and how to hold the rig together when the weather turns.
Wells
Ride the pressure
Every well builds pressure while it pumps. Open the choke and it pays out faster, but past the red line it blows and the well is down until you cap it. Steady hands out-earn greedy ones.
Refinery
Refine for the margin
Crude and gas come out of the ground; diesel, jet fuel and LNG come out of your refinery. Chain the units, watch six markets, and sell whichever product pays best today.
Incidents
Brace for the storm
Storms hit on a clock. When the alarm sounds you get a few seconds to close the valves in order. Hold the rig and earn a bonus; miss it and oil goes overboard.
Crews · Season 1
Win the crew war
Crews of up to 20 rigs share a leaderboard each season, send saboteurs at their rivals and cover each other's decks. The top three crews split the season's bonus pool.
XOM rewards
Exxon Mobil stock tokens, paid to the people pumping
XOM on BNB Smart Chain is an ERC-20 stock token that tracks Exxon Mobil shares. The treasury buys it in small weekly batches, so every purchase and every payout can be checked on-chain.

The fleet
Four rig classes, one sealed draw
Rig classes are locked by a seed committed on-chain before the mint and revealed after it. Nobody, including the team, can choose which rig gets which class.
