The first commercially successful oil well was drilled by Edwin Drake in Titusville, Pennsylvania, on August 27, 1859. This well marked the beginning of the modern petroleum industry.

The first ships to carry mineral oil (as opposed to whale oil) were not designed particularly for oil - the oil would be carried in jars or barrels. Ludvig Nobel (brother of Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite and founder of the Nobel prize) is probably the key pioneer of designing ships specifically to carry oil. He was Swedish.
Oil became a major energy source in the late 19th century, particularly after the advent of the internal combustion engine and the rise of the automotive industry in the early 20th century. The 1859 drilling of the first commercial oil well in Pennsylvania marked the beginning of the oil industry, but its significance grew rapidly during and after World War I. By the mid-20th century, oil had established itself as a dominant energy source, largely due to its efficiency and versatility in transportation, heating, and electricity generation.

The first oil well was drilled by Edwin Drake in Titusville, Pennsylvania. At a depth of only 69 feet (21 meters), Drake struck oil, and his well began to produce about thirty barrels of oil a day.
