PETROLEUM

By : Kevin CourtneyNoahLainey

Petroleum is buried underground. We use oil wells to drill into rocks. The typical well is about 1,000 feet. Texas and Alaska produce the most oil. A lot of oil is under the ocean and shores. After the oil is pumped to the surface it is

sent to refiners. The oil is moved from one place to another

through pipelines and by ships and trucks. By : Lainey

We Drill Oil Wells

Without petroleum our country would come to a stop.

Most of our cars trucks and planes are powered by fuel made by oil.

You can even burn oil to make electricity. We use more petroleum more than any

energy source. What would we do without petroleum. By : Courtney

We Use Petroleum Every Day

Long before the dinosaurs, oceans covered most of the earth they were filled with tiny sea animals.

As the plants and animals died, they sank to the bottom of the ocean.

Sand and sediment covered them and turned them into sedimentary rock.

Petroleum Is A Fossil Fuel

The Petroleum we us today was made millions of years ago.

Petroleum takes many years to form. We can’t make more in a shorter amount of

time. We also call petroleum nonrenewable. The United States does not produce enough. We import most of the oil we use in the world. By : Noah
