Petroleum is so much a part of our modern way of life it would difficult to imagine what our world would be like with out it. This simulation game is about the search for petroleum. Our dependence on petroleum raises a number of important social, political, economic, and environmental questions. There are no easy answers to these questions. It is very important, therefore, that students learn as much as they can about the subject so that they can make fully informed decisions. This game will help. |
