Where is petroleum found on earth?
Petroleum is found underground in regions called oil fields. These oil fields are usually located in sedimentary rocks, where organic materials have been heated and compressed over millions of years to form crude oil. Petroleum can be extracted through drilling wells into these oil fields.
Are explosives used in petroleum drilling?
No...what in the world would possess a man to think that explosives would be safe to use on an oil well. The proper way to drill an oil well would be to use a "Drill Bit" followed by a series of tools and special pipe to make up the "Bottom hole assembly" or the BHA. As the bit drills deeper a series of pipe are added to the top of the drilling pipe, these are call "Drill Pipe"
How is petroleum mined?
Petroleum is in a liquid form. It is retrieved by drilling into the earth and then pumping it out. Oil rigs and derricks. Various means of obtaining petroleum from tar sands and shale deposits are being investigated. Tars sands are not expected to be "mined", but treated in situ to generate liquid / gaseous petroleum. Oil shale may require mining. Neither of these is currently economically viable.
Who did the first oil drill?
The first known oil well was drilled in 1859 by Edwin Drake in Titusville, Pennsylvania, marking the beginning of the modern petroleum industry. Drake's successful drilling of oil led to the widespread commercial production of oil.
How do you drill into granite?
To drill into granite, use a carbide-tipped masonry drill bit and a hammer drill for best results. Start by marking the drilling spot, then apply firm pressure and keep the drill bit in a steady, perpendicular position. Use water or a cooling lubricant to prevent the drill bit from overheating while drilling.
Is oil produced in Israel?
Not yet, but Israel is beginning to drill for petroleum offshore.
WHY did BP drill?
The purpose of an integrates petroleum company requires it to find, drill for, extract and refine oil and gas. BP (British Petroleum) followed this mandate. They were confident that they could do so in a environmentally safe manner and obtained all required permits.
Would a wedge or a screw be better to drill a hole into soil while searching for petroleum?
screw
What is onshore and offshore petroleum exploration?
Petroleum exploration is where a rig or ship is used to drill into the earth or seabed to locate oil reserves. For offshore exploration a drill ship, jack-up drilling rig or floating drilling rig can be used. For onshore applications mobile drilling rig is used.
Would a wedge or a screw be better to drill into soil while searching for petroleum?
a ballsack is very calm in its natural inviornment but bacteria can get in and infect it

How could drilling rigs cause pollution in the water?
If there is harmful chemicals such as petroleum or natural gases in the water and drilling rigs drill through it, the chemicals/pollution will be released into the water.

What was the significance of Edwin Drake?
Though he drilled only three oil wells in his lifetime, Edwin Drake (1819-1880) is known as the "Father of the Petroleum Industry" because the technology he devised to drill the first commercial oil well in the United States revolutionized how crude oil was produced and launched the large-scale petroleum industry.
What is drill machnie?
A drill machine can mean a hand held electric drill, or a bench drill press or a pillar drill.
What do you mean by petroleum refining?
petroleum refining is petroleum refining
