UNIT I 3
Petroleum Industry 3
Petroleum Industry 4
Petroleum, coal, and natural gas are the most widely used sources of energy in the modern world. They are of primary importance in the industrialized countries, where vast amounts of energy are consumed to operate all the different kinds of machines that work for mankind today. These three energy sources are referred to as fossil fuels. 4
Fossils are the traces or remains of plant or animal life that existed in previous ages. They were covered by sand or mud, which in time was itself covered by the water of the seas. Pressure changed the remains into oil, coal, or gas. Petroleum is composed largely of the marine animals and plants that lived so long ago. 4
When petroleum first went on market, it was called rock oil to distinguish it from the other kinds of oil. Since then, modern technology has become such an enormous consumer of energy that petroleum is probably the most valuable product in the world. It is often called “black gold”. 4
Up until the industrial revolution human beings did not use energy in the same quantities as we do nowadays. Energy was used for heat and light and preparation of food. The main fuels were wood, vegetable and animal oils. It has only been since World War II that oil has replaced coal as our primary energy source. 4
