Oil has been used since ancient times, with evidence of its use dating back to around 3500 BCE in Mesopotamia for waterproofing boats and as a fuel. The ancient Egyptians also utilized crude oil for medicinal purposes and in their embalming processes. However, the modern oil industry began in the mid-19th century, particularly with the drilling of the first commercial oil well in Pennsylvania in 1859, which marked the start of large-scale oil production and use.
