From the ancient times, Oil is said to have been a part of man's existence. Crude Oil was used almost 2500 years ago in Ancient China. However, there are some accounts which show the usage of oil wells started around 347 A.D. in the same country. The oil wells were dug then in China. Later, in 1264, the mining of the oil's natural seeps took place in Persia. This was witnessed by a well-renowned man named Marco Polo while traveling through Baku. Also in the late 1500's Poland's Carpathian Mountains became a source for seep oil to provide light for street lamps. In Pennsylvania, US oil was produced in brine wells in 1815.
Ancient people used petroleum seeps from pre-historic times. Oil was first discovered in the United States in Titusville, Pennsylvania, in the Oil Creek Valley when Colonel Edwin L. Drake struck oil there on August 27, 1859.
a Pennsylvania salt driller that got tired of hitting oil and decided to see if he might be able to sell the oil as a replacement for whale oil in lamps. one thing he had to do first was deodorize it! crude does not smell good when burned! obviously
Natural oil seeps have been present since before the days of dinosaurs about 200 million years ago. Lighter oils evaporate in air leaving behind the heavier oils in

Edwin Drake, at Titusville PA in 1858. There are at least three claims of earlier drilling operations, but Drake is renowned as the first American to drill for oil.

Crude oil is obtained by drilling down into the ground to an oil well. The oil is then pumped out of the ground and put into barrels. The barrels of oil are then sent to a plant where it is processed into different products for consumer use.
you extract them by drilling wells
The answer is oil.
Scientists can use sonar and seismic studies to test an area for oil. It is not always certain, however. To really find out if an area is rich in oil, drilling must occur.
At present, drilling for oil is prohibited until 2048. See Wikipedia link. Second, there has been some drilling in the 1970's offshore in the Ross Sea, but only traces of gas were found. It will be hard to justify spending money to explore for oil, as the cost of drilling and producing is very high. So the ban on exploration may continue after 2048. See second link.
they go deep into the ground and start drilling to receive the oil.
Not really, they are totally different techniques, but at least you won't start from basics.
Yes
Drilling for natural gas is similar to drilling for oil, but gas must be liquefied before it can be shipped.
the only ban on oil drilling was in 1919
We are drilling for oil in the united states
In search of Fossil fuels, humans take to the sea. They build a platform in the sea, a mobile island if you will, and from there, they start drilling down in the sea floor, until they reach the oil bubble. This oil bubble gets emptied and the humans leave with their oil and their island.

You can probably find where to get jobs in oil drilling by contacting an oil drilling company and asking for a job, or by going to any legitimate job finding organisation.
