The first to discover oil in a significant way are credited with the ancient Mesopotamians, who used naturally occurring oil seeps around 3000 BC for various purposes. However, the modern oil industry began in the mid-19th century, with Edwin Drake drilling the first successful oil well in Titusville, Pennsylvania, in 1859. This marked the start of commercial oil production and the establishment of the petroleum industry as we know it today.
