I think this would be a great game if you'd polish it.

It was surprisingly addicting!
This is a very unique take on the theme, and it's refreshing. Good work!
The game really grew on me, great work!
Love the face of the "sell your oil" guy! Very nice mechanic.
Interesting concept, but doesn't provide any chalange to a player.
A good unique take on the theme.. I'm not sure I got everything working the way it's supposed too, but I kind of liked it. I think you move too slow, though.
This has promise as the beginning of the game. As it stands currently, however, there isn't a lot to do. A few things that might help would be some sort of strategy to the probing based on either patterns in the oil or hints on failed probes, and tangible goals besides 'rack up as much money as possible'. If 'rack up as much money as possible' remains the goal, then there needs to be a threat other than simply running out of money, because otherwise once you start making more money than you're losing, the challenge is gone.
Anyway, those are just some random ideas. All in all it's a pretty neat idea.
This was a fun, addicting game for a little while. As others have pointed out, in the future, having more of a goal and maybe improved oil rigs or something would be sweet - but as it stands, it's a game I enjoyed playing a lot. :)
It's a very cool use of the theme, but it feels like there needs to be more to it. Maybe if you had to get some amount money/oil in a time limit?
Kinda fun, not enough replay value though.
Fun, but needs some kind of challenge -- something to balance, or compete against.
