the answer is because of oil spills.
Nature pumps it's own oil from the ground into many areas. Indians used this goo for different purposes.
Methane is a common source of natural groundwater pollution. It can seep into groundwater from natural deposits or from human activities such as oil and gas drilling. Methane contamination can affect water quality and pose risks to human health.
Pollution that comes from only one source is called point source pollution. This type of pollution is often easier to identify and regulate compared to non-point source pollution, which comes from multiple sources.
Point-Source Pollution
When the single source of pollution can be identified, it's called
If the pollution comes directly from the oil well, e.g. the well is on fire, it will be considered as a point source, becasue we know the source.

Oil Spills.
The main source of plastic is Crude Oil
The source of water pollution that includes oil and gasoline discharge from automobiles and storm sewer drainage is known as non-point source pollution. This type of pollution occurs when contaminants are carried over land and enter water bodies through runoff, often during rainfall events. Unlike point source pollution, which comes from a single, identifiable source, non-point source pollution is diffuse and can be challenging to manage and regulate.
Oil is the main source of electricity worldwide.
Oil
Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity is the main source of air pollution, in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) (a greenhouse gas classified as a pollutant when it is added to the atmosphere).
