Why Does Petroleum Matter in This Modern World?

why-does-petroleum-matter-in-this-modern-world

Fossil fuels, also known as petroleum, are sometimes referred to as crude oil. Petroleum was created from the remains of extinct marine animals like plants, algae, and bacteria, just like coal and natural gas. These organic remains changed into carbon-rich substances we rely on as raw materials for fuel and a wide range of products over millions of years of extreme heat and pressure.

Petroleum can now be discovered in huge subsurface reservoirs that were once ancient seas. Under the surface of the land or the water, there are petroleum reservoirs. Utilizing enormous drilling equipment, their crude oil is extracted.

Crude oil and refined products are part of our daily essentials. Here are some examples of what we owe to oil:

  • For your health:
    coatings for pills, binding agents for creams, disposable syringes
  • In the home:
    contact lenses, cosmetics, clothing, fabrics, nail polish, deodorants, shampoo, paint, upholstery and carpets, detergents for washing up and laundry, dry-cleaning fluid
  • While cooking:
    non-stick pans, cling film, storage containers
  • For building:
    roofing tiles, pipes, insulating material, paint
  • On the move:
    petrol and diesel for cars and lorries, emergency services and trains, asphalt road surfaces

Additionally, we find them in office products and supplies, namely computer hardware, phones and faxes, diskettes, pens, chairs, and printing ink. We can also find them in miscellaneous items we use, like CDs, cassette tapes, camera film, artists’ paint, bicycle handlebar grips, tires, crash helmets, football boots, trainers, shin pads, windsurfers, and roller blades.
