In 1927
Oil was discovered in Fort McMurray in 1967 when a test well drilled by the Great Canadian Oil Sands Ltd. revealed significant oil deposits. This discovery marked the beginning of the development of the oil sands industry in the region, leading to extensive extraction and production activities that have shaped the local economy and landscape since then.
In the 1970s, significant oil reserves were discovered in several locations, notably in the North Sea, particularly in the UK sector, which became a major oil-producing region. Additionally, large oil fields were found in Alaska, including the Prudhoe Bay Oil Field, which is one of the largest in the United States. These discoveries contributed to a dramatic increase in oil production and impacted global energy markets.
oil had been discovered there
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.
It wasn't discovered, it was invented then built. Technologies are never discovered. Only natural phenomena can be discovered.
