Oil exploration has become a steadily growing business. This is due to the ever increasing demand for oil derivates in the international market. The extraction of this mineral, however, is not an easy process. It poses many hazards which may threaten the environment and the lives of workers at an oil well. In order to reduce the chances of accidents and failures, a continued training to the workers is highly recommended. This paper presents a game which simulates a drilling rig. This game, the players are exposed to various circumstances in which they can exercise their knowledge about their work and learn what to do in troublesome events. Artificial Intelligence techniques will be applied to the game in order to accomplish that feature. The application will also include instant interactions among several players in a virtual 3D environment. The game is a web-based, which allows players to remotely execute it on different platforms.
No intuito de reduzir a possibilidade de acidentes e falhas no processo de perfuração de poços de petróleo, um treinamento contínuo para os trabalhadores é altamente recomendado. Neste trabalho é proposto um jogo que simula uma plataforma de perfuração. No jogo, os jogadores são expostos a várias circunstancias nas quais eles podem exercitar seu conhecimento sobre seu trabalho e aprender o que fazer em situações adversas. Técnicas de inteligência artificial serão aplicadas ao jogo no intuito de atingir essa funcionalidade. Os recursos da aplicação incluem interação instantânea entre vários jogadores em ambiente virtual 3D. Ela é uma aplicação baseada na web, que permite jogadores remotamente executá-la em diferentes plataformas.
