The Oil Rig is a Tech Building that enables you to gather Crude Oil and are built on oil deposits which are located on underwater islands.
Oil Rigs are three times more productive than an Oil Driller.
Oil Rigs may catch fire and explode randomly. If that happens, Oil Rigs will lose hit points, spill oil to the sea and finally be destroyed. If the spill extends to an island, the Ecobalance on the island will decrease by 500 points and will be reduced to at most -500 Ecobalance. Items in the Laboratory can be used by ships to extinguish the fire and clean up the oil spill. Other items developed by the Academy can reduce the possibility of the disaster occurring. Some Computer Players like Rufus Thorne and Yana Rodriguez will also sell some items which achieve the same goal.
Building Oil Rigs will make Vadim Sokow rather angry. If he is on the easy difficulty level, and you have been at war with him and destroyed many of his ships, he will leave you alone and won't care how many Oil Rigs you build. However, sometimes he'll give you an ultimatum to demolish one or more Oil Rigs, and failing to complete the ultimatum results in the declaration of war.

Upgrades[]
These upgrades aren't researchable; you have to find / buy them.
However, there are a few Academy Research Projects that affect the Oil Rig:
