In the early 1900s, oil rigs primarily used a method called "drilling" to extract oil. They employed a simple rotary drilling technique, where a drill bit was rotated to penetrate the earth and reach oil reservoirs. Once the oil was discovered, it was pumped to the surface using primitive pumps, often called "nodding donkeys" or "jack pumps." The collected oil was then stored in tanks or transported via pipelines for refining and distribution.

In the early 1900s, whale oil found new applications beyond traditional uses in lighting and lubrication. It became an important ingredient in the production of soaps and cosmetics, valued for its emollient properties. Additionally, whale oil was used in the manufacturing of margarine and as a component in various industrial processes, including the production of hydraulic fluids and emulsifiers. These new uses contributed to the ongoing demand for whale oil during that period.

In the 1900s, one major cause of international tensions came from holdings of (and access to) natural resources. Especially during the pre-war period, both the abundance and the lack of natural resources served as a cause of rising tension between nations on either side of the spectrum. Two examples may illustrate: for Germany, living space was deemed essential, and it sought to take such space from its neighbors. For Japan, oil was the key element, and it finally went to war to procure it.
One hundred years ago, No. 1 oil, also known as kerosene or coal oil, was primarily used for lighting lamps and heating homes. It served as a popular fuel source for early oil lamps before the widespread adoption of electricity. Additionally, it was utilized in cooking and as a solvent in various industrial applications. Its versatility made it an essential commodity during that era.

The base of the Hibernia oil rigs were built in the early 1990s. This followed the discovery of oil in 1979. Hibernia is situated in the North Atlantic Ocean, close to Canada.
