Crude oil that went by in search of salt

 Crude oil that went by in search of salt

# Crude oil, which accidentally emerged in Pennsylvania in 1857, is today the world's leading energy power.

Edwin L., who built a steam engine-powered device for drilling salt in a village in Pennsylvania. One day in 1859, a man named Drake was digging sixty - nine feet deep below ground level using the same tool. He found a strange black liquid. Drake, who discovered the liquid, never thought this would turn the world upside down. That's how crude oil came to the surface.

 From then on, diggers all over America began digging wells in search of oil. Many products in the world today use by-products directly from petroleum or oil production.

 Today, more than four hundred million years ago, most of the earth was covered by the oceans. At that time, the creatures that lived in the sea and on the land died and their bodies were buried as muddy pulp with the mud of the high seas. On top of this, plant parts and silt from the rivers and streams also accumulated in large quantities. The pulp with the living parts was completely covered by that foreign Ron mud. Over time, the silt layer hardened and turned to rock. As a result, the pulp with the living parts was subjected to intense pressure. The elements carbon and hydrogen in the mixture began to change a lot. Oxygen gas could not be found in the pulp beneath due to the foreign silt that had turned to rock on top. If it had found oxygen, the situation would have been different today. The solution found by Edwin Droke in Pennsylvania is the same pulp that was deposited about 140 million years ago. It is called a fossil solution.

 With the discovery of this pulp, man who conducted research on it realized that it could be used to obtain coal and fossil fuels. The more hydrogen in the mixture, the more oil it can get, and the less hydrogen it can get to coal. All this is commonly known as petroleum. The Latin word petroleum literally means oil extracted from stone.

 It is this petroleum resource that has become the ruling power in the world today. The world economy is determined by how much the price of a barrel of oil has risen by nightfall. Petroleum is having such an impact on today's consumer society. The oil crisis is one of the most talked about themes today as rising oil prices directly and indirectly affect our daily lives. Accordingly, the world runs on petroleum resources.

 Petroleum prices are now at an all-time high. It has led to a world economic crisis. Many say the world's oil resources are running out. Some say the world will have oil for only another two decades, or twenty years. If that is the case then maybe 20 years from now the world will be plunged into an oil crisis. When you look at the use of petroleum and its by-products for the world's leading energy and all kinds of products, the world would be utterly helpless without oil.

 Perhaps the most golden age associated with King Rawana in folklore, as well as the present technological age, will decline again, just as the Egyptian civilization disappeared.

 When the Anglo-Persian Oil Company was commissioned to explore for oil in 1920, they declared that there was not a drop of oil left in Saudi Arabia. In 1919, American geologists predicted that by 1928, all oil reserves in the country would be depleted. All those predictions are false and it is still possible to get oil from those places.

 How the world's oil reserves have expanded

 The oil-rich country accounts for 65.4 percent of the world's oil reserves (Saudi Arabia alone, 25 percent), Central and South America 9.4 percent, Europe 9.3 percent, Africa 7.4 percent, North America 4.8 percent and the Asia-Pacific region 3.7 percent.

 International energy experts say the world's golden age of oil is coming to an end. Chris Skrebovsky of the Petroleum Review, published by the British Energy Agency, points out that world oil production is currently declining. He says the daily production of crude oil in OPEC countries is about 33 million barrels and does not appear to be increasing. He says oil production in 18 of the world's oil-producing countries has fallen.

 The world currently consumes about 30 billion barrels of oil annually. The International Energy Agency says it expects to find about 2.6 trillion barrels of oil in the near future.

 The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) estimates that it has about 900 billion barrels of oil, but that it actually owns between 500 and 600 billion barrels. They also say that making decisions about the world economy based on these false statistics will only make the world more crisis prone.

 Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person. It is clear that petroleum resources are limited. Scientists believe that about 30 percent of the oil fields have been discovered so far. But finding other places where oil is available is also an extremely difficult task. Research is underway in the belief that there is oil on the seabed around Sri Lanka.

 American researchers are keenly interested in oil exploration. There are about one million oil research wells in the United States alone. There are about 2,000 such wells in the Persian Gulf and about 300 in Saudi Arabia.

 From the oil we obtain, we produce as little as thirty-five barrels of oil per hundred barrels. In other words, 65 percent is wasted.
