== Trivia ==
Petroleum, or crude oil, is a highly flammable yellowish-black liquid that has been formed by dead algae and plankton becoming buried under sedimentary rock and exposed to extreme pressure and temperature.
Petroleum, when refined, is turned into a wide range of products, including but not limited to:
* Fuel (Gasoline, diesel, kerosene, propane, butane, etc)
* Plastics
* Ceramics
* Petroleum jelly
* Fertilizers
* Pesticides
* Adhesives
* Asphalt
The first evidence of petroleum usage by humans was over 4000 years ago when according to Greek historian Herodotus, asphalt was used as a construction material by Babylon. Similarly, ancient Persian clay tablets stated that petroleum was used as medicine and lighting fuel by the upper classes of ancient Persian society.
As of 2019, 33.06% of global energy is derived from oil.
