From the ancient times, Oil is said to have been a part of man's existence. Crude Oil was used almost 2500 years ago in Ancient China. However, there are some accounts which show the usage of oil wells started around 347 A.D. in the same country. The oil wells were dug then in China. Later, in 1264, the mining of the oil's natural seeps took place in Persia. This was witnessed by a well-renowned man named Marco Polo while traveling through Baku. Also in the late 1500's Poland's Carpathian Mountains became a source for seep oil to provide light for street lamps. In Pennsylvania, US oil was produced in brine wells in 1815.
