the misuse of oil: - the oil spill - taking too much oil from the off and on shore rigs
Oil and natural gas are the most important of such resources.
Oil deposits were found beneath the ocean, too far from the shore to drill from the land. Eventually someone had the bright idea to go and produce these rigs that drill at sea and the first oil rig was born. So, oil rigs were invented to pump the oil located beneath the sea bed far from shore.
Fire on top of oil rigs occurs to burn off the natural gas if it is not economically feasible to capture it.
There are around 3.5 million oil rigs, though some are not entirely used to drill for oil and most is on land. Many rigs are used to drill for water and geothermal heat. Usage of geothermal heating is common in Europe, and mobile oil rigs are used.
