Edwin Drake drilled the first oil well in the U.S.A. in 1859 near Titusville, P.A. He actually struck oil on Saturday 27th October of that year.
The first oil well was drilled in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. It was drilled by Edwin L. Drake, whose Idea it was. Everyone thought that this was ridiculous then, and called his idea "Drake's Folly." They stopped laughing when it produced immense amounts of oil.

The first oil wells were drilled in China in 347 A.D. using bamboo poles. In Persia hand dug wells reached depths of 115 feet in 1594. The first modern well was drilled in Russia in 1848, and in 1859 Colonel Edwin Drake drilled the first US oil well for commercial oil production, at Titusville, PA; it was 69 feet deep.
It was at Enniskillen in Ontario, Canada. A year later the first US oil well was drilled in Titusville PA.
Oiled drilled offshore in the US, is sold to the World Market.
This question is impossible to answer, as wells are being drilled continuously.
In 1859, Edwin Drake was the first man to drill a commercial oil well in the US in the middle of quiet farm country in northwestern Pennsylvania in 1859.
No. The US exports crude oil. It also imports around 50% of the refined oil (e.g., petroleum) that it consumes.
