I want to make a video game about this and I want it to be as historically accurate as possible.
The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power
"[...] The Prize, winner of the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction, is a comprehensive history of one of the commodities that powers the world--oil. Founded in the 19th century, the oil industry began producing kerosene for lamps and progressed to gasoline. Huge personal fortunes arose from it, and whole nations sprung out of the power politics of the oil wells. Yergin's fascinating account sweeps from early robber barons like John D. Rockefeller, to the oil crisis of the 1970s, through to the Gulf War."
Although this may not directly answer your question, I would argue that two books in particular may be of use for a well-rounded view of the topic.
For an environmental history of the oil industry, see Brian C. Black, Crude Reality: Petroleum in World History (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2012). It is admittedly an America-centric book, but incorporates a global geo-political perspective.
A cultural look from an even more pointedly American-centric position is McAlister, Melani. 2001. Epic Encounters: Culture, Media, and U.S. Interests in the Middle East, 1945-2000. Berkeley: University of California Press. It is helpful for sorting out (for myself, at least, as someone raised in America during times of turbulence in the Middle East) what of my memories of the time is attributable to media skew and what is verifiable fact. In other words, she dissects the various agendas going into how Americans have discussed, viewed, and reacted to the Middle East in the second half of the twentieth century - and how those views may have served to validate or may have informed/prompted actions taken in the Middle East by the American government. This book even includes an analysis of Steve Martin's King Tut song from SNL in the 1970s - and an explanation of the sex appeal of Rudolph Valentino, the stud-muffin silent film actor. It's a good read.
Good luck in your project - and thank you for wanting to do your research (I'm sure your future players will appreciate the effort too!)
