What were the basic factors of production in the petroleum industry?

I think you are asking: What were the basic factors that affect oil production in the petroleum industry? Perhaps more simply put: What makes oil production in any one area go up or down? It is a good question. Oil production goes up when new fields are discovered. It takes a long time (as long as 10 years) between discovery and actual production from the field. There must be sufficient oil in the field, as confirmed by wells, to justifiy construction of facilities. Oil production can increase when an oil company decides to improve production through stimulating wells (acidizing, hydraulic fracturing) or injection of water or gas to provide more energy and displace the hydrocarbons. Pumps can also increase production. No matter how much efforts are put into improving production, there is only so much oil so eventually oil production goes down. There is frequently an increase in gas and/or water with time. Now, the broader question- is the production in the US or the world going up, leveling off, or into a decline? I have included a link that pulls together many ideas on this subject. If new sources of oil, like tar sands, are now economical, perhaps we are in the leveling off phase. Others believe that because many of the largest fields are currently in decline, US oil production has peaked and we are in decline. See related link.

Were is coal found?

It has been estimated that there are over 847 billion tonnes of proven coal reserves worldwide. This means that there is enough coal to last us around 119 years at current rates of production. In contrast, proven oil and gas reserves are equivalent to around 46 and 63 years at current production levels.
