[Epic via Prime] Turmoil, indie oil-drilling sim (luna.amazon.co.uk)

Drill for oil like it's 1899! Turmoil offers players a visually charming, tongue-in-cheek take on the simulation genre inspired by the 19th century oil rush in North America. Includes: The Heat Is On DLC, a brand new campaign with tons of oil to dig up and convert into cash!

This one is definitely a hidden gem.

The game design is simple, and there are just a hand full of game mechanics. However, those mechanics tie into each other very well, and the main challenge - having limited knowledge of where the oil might be, and having to invest money to look for more - remains fun for a long time.

I keep coming back to Turmoil whenever I stumble across it in my games folder.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that! Seems the GoG version (which I bought) doesn't have it though :-(

Nice! It reminds me of the kind of flash game I'd spend all evening playing back in the day, I should give it a go.

I hadn't made that connection, but now that you mention it, the art style and gameplay definitely have that tone.
