What is oil and gas VR training?
Oil and gas VR training is immersive software that lets crews rehearse high-risk operations, equipment handling, and emergency response for rigs and plants in a safe virtual environment, so they build technical competence and safe procedure before facing the real, hazardous conditions of the field.
Program-Ace recreates rigs and plants for safe rehearsal, using serious game design to keep high-risk operational training engaging for the crews who need it.
What Program-Ace delivers
- High-risk operation drillsRehearse rig and plant procedures safely.
- Equipment and hard skillsOperate machinery on a virtual replica.
- Emergency responseCustom drills for high-pressure situations.
- HSE-alignedBuilt to OSHA and NEBOSH.

Industries we serve
Oil and gas training pays off wherever operations are high-risk, remote, and regulated.
Enterprise-grade engineering, security-first delivery
We build on the same real-time engines that power AAA games and industrial digital twins, backed by mature enterprise delivery, NDA-protected processes, and secure handling of your operational data.
"The teams that see the biggest gains treat simulation as a measurement tool, not just a training one. When you can score real competency, you can prove readiness, and that changes the safety conversation entirely."
