The meraculous discovery of oil in space. No matter what you do to improve this industry we will still run out of resources eventually.
The invention of the light bulb significantly impacted the oil industry by reducing the demand for kerosene, which was widely used for lighting before electric lighting became prevalent. As households and businesses transitioned to electric lights, the market for kerosene diminished, leading oil companies to seek new applications for petroleum products. This shift spurred innovation and diversification within the oil industry, ultimately paving the way for the development of gasoline and other petroleum-based products for transportation and industry.
Petroleum energy is energy derived from petroleum products: gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, etc.
it is oil
I think petroleum engineering has to do with the discovery of crude oil[hydrocarbons] in it's dark,sticky,viscous stage and lifting it to the surface and passing it to the refineries for the extraction of other components viz petroleum gases,petrol,kerosene . While gas and oil engineering has to do with reserving,distribution of refined oil and gas from crude oil to depots. Ismail Sani Ali.

Field exploration in the petroleum industry began in the mid-19th century with the first successful commercial oil well drilled in 1859 by Edwin Drake in Titusville, Pennsylvania. This marked the beginning of modern oil exploration techniques and the growth of the petroleum industry.

Since today petroleum products are very commonly used, they must be prepared in large quantities. In petroleum industry, it is done using fractional distillation. In the crude form we get petroleum which is a mixture of various products like petrol, diesel, Kerosene oil etc. Using fractionating columns we separate these products which have different boiling points.
