aspects of life. Our political, transportation and economics systems would all encounter drastic affects if there were no oil to transform into petroleum. Due to our huge dependency on petroleum products, oil companies like British Petroleum (BP), Exxon Mobil, and Saudi Aramco hold extreme power over many countries and make billions off our need to live our daily lives. The extraction of oil from these companies are causing life altering effects for future generations, by causing major environmental

example of why is shown in the article, written by Bailey, Ronald, titled "Offshore Drilling Remains a Risk Worth Taking". Reading through, you will see the article reference the Exxon Valdez oil tanker leak that happened a while back with the following, "the biggest oil spill in U.S. history: In 1989, the Exxon Valdez oil tanker leaked 250,000 barrels of crude oil (about 10 million

the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and crude oil transportation that is currently in place from the North Slope to the Valdez Marine Terminal. Many oil spills have occurred since it began transportation in 1977 such as the one that occurred in 2006 that went undetected for days resulting in 267,000 gallons of crude oil escaping into the environment (Barringer, 2006). Also, in 1989, the Exxon Valdez oil spill

The 19th century was a time of great innovation and rapid industrialization. The industry of iron and steel was generating new construction materials, while railroads were being connected across the United States. But one of the most used resources in the world now was discovered, oil as a source of fuel. In 1901, a gigantic geyser of oil erupted from a drilling site at Spindletop Hill, Texas. The spout reached a height of more than 150 feet and produced close to 100,000 barrels a day.

trapped many animals. “Most scientists believe that the earth’s petroleum formed millions of years ago, when large areas of today’s continents were covered by warm shallow seas.” Also, I learned that in 1989, a 987-foot-long oil tanker, the “Exxon Valdez slammed into a reef off the coast of Alaska.” “nearly eleven million gallon of crude

207 million gallons. To any person, it is evident that this amount is quite large; however, the true impact of this amount is truly staggering. In 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig sunk to the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico unleashing 207 million gallons of crude oil into the gulf. From a company perspective, this is a staggering loss of capital ranging from the drilling rig itself to the clean up of the aftermath. The question remains, however, could this have been prevented? The oil and gas

March of 1984, in the Prince William Sound of Alaska, a ship named the Exxon Valdez struck a coral reef and spilled 38 million gallons of crude oil into the ocean. As many as 250,000 seabirds, 2,800 sea otters, 12 river otters, 300 harbor seals, 247 bald eagles, 22 orcas, and an unknown number of salmon and herring died because of the oil spill. The damage and cleanup costs following the Exxon Valdez spill were so extensive Exxon paid out more than one billion dollars to federal and state

There are a few things that are needed in order for man to survive, food, water, shelter, and an energy source. In the beginning fire was that energy source used to keep humans warm and to cook their food. These days energy is in other forms such as nuclear, wind, solar, and of course, petroleum (oil) and are all needed for survival. Oil was, at one time, plentiful and considered more of a nuisance for those who were drilling wells for water in the US because it would seep into the wells. Early uses
