The Companies of the Oil Blue: Mechanical Supplies Unlimited

(Every week I’ll be spotlighting a company that is featured in the Oil Blue, an indie PC game coming late February.)

“The fear was never that we’d run out of oil. The fear was that oil would become unprofitable.”
-Jacob Taylor, founder of MSU

Oil was becoming scarce in the major Middle Eastern regions. While this allowed companies to enjoy major price increases, everyone knew that it was a matter of time before they’d have to do some drastic changes. This, despite the fact that the world still had thousands of untapped oil reserves.

Shale oil extraction was going to be the de facto standard for getting oil supplies back up to speed, except for one problem: it wasn’t economically viable. Neither would setting up research expeditions out to sea in finding oil reserves somewhere out in the world’s oceans. Oil would have become a pricey, uneconomical way of fueling our way of life, until a major technological breakthrough occurred in 2001.

Mechanical Supplies Unlimited was founded in 1982 by Jacob Taylor, an enterprising young man with a passion for technology. Put off by the somewhat ancient tech that oil companies were using out in the field, Taylor started to research the methods of sonic visualization and holographs. It was not on land that would bring us the oil, said Taylor, but the “deep blue” as he liked to call it, specifically the Pacific Ocean. While funding his research by supplying oil companies with equipment and parts, Taylor would soon find a brand new method of finding oil beneath the ocean (one that wasn’t particularly of interest to major oil producers, but that wasn’t the goal.) This would “give the oil back to the people,” as it would be a cheap way to build an oil platform out in the ocean while pumping the fuel like a gold mine.

Taylor soon had a new division created under Mechanical Supplies Unlimited in 2001, dealing in advanced oil drilling for the smaller companies. It’s with these new holographic displays and sonic visualization that smaller 실시간카지노사이트 companies could find rich oil veins within a day, and start mass production within a month. MSU, secretly with the financial help of the newly formed UOO (who expressed great interest in the project), would provide the equipment and supplies necessary to drill. What they needed were thousands and thousands of entrepreneurs ready to spend months and years out in the ocean working for a cut of the profits, as the UOO wasn’t about to publicly fund a payroll of thousands that would potentially crash the huge oil companies/countries of OPEC and OECD.

But, of course, that was their plan all along. While MSU thought they were bringing back the small man industries back into the oil trade in an attempt to wrestle the big oil companies away from all the power, the UOO knew they were saturating the market with oil, breaking down the monopolies created within OPEC and OECD, and would soon crash the oil market entirely. By 2011 a global “Oil Renaissance” would be born for nearly two decades, until the oil trade would be so over saturated that hardly any companies and cartels were still standing. The bottom fell out by 2032, and oil had reached it’s peak, no longer supply-constrained. The UOO had taken over the global oil markets, but at what cost? It was no longer the profitable powerhouse it once was, and the territorial disputes and wars resulting from the loss of power that the middle eastern countries enjoyed with their oil reserves significantly cut down major land suppliers of oil, resulting in a near-total ocean oil economy. But the UOO knew the oil economy would be weakened by the time they reached total market control, which is why they already had their next playing card already hard at work in governments all over the world…the Citizens for a Greener Earth.
