It can be separated into fractions including natural gas fuels, lubricating oils and so on. There are some major oil producing regions around the globe. Kuwait and Saudi Arabia’s crude oil fields are the largest. But in Texas, the former world’s major oil region is now almost completely dry. The real catalyst for petroleum production is World War I. It is being produced

1.1 INTRODUCTION The modern refinery, the petroleum distillation, appeared in 1862 when Benjamin Jr.’s research showed that 50% of the new Pennsylvania Rock Oil can be distillates into first-rate burning oil, kerosene and paraffin oil and, and the other 40% can be used for another purpose, such as lubrication. In the nineteenth century, the United States and Russia were the countries that produced oil which led to many developments in oil extraction. In the twentieth century, different regions in

The region I chose is OPEC, which is the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. OPEC was established in 1961 with 5 countries. Since then, it has expanded to 12 countries: Algeria, Angola, Ecuador, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela. As technology improves and the production of oil and natural gas fluctuates, changes in the economy will occur and create tensions and conflicts, as well as opportunities. Because of OPEC 's impact
