The 19th century was a period of great change and rapid industrialization. The iron and steel industry spawned new construction materials, the railroads connected the country and the discovery of oil provided a new source of fuel. The discovery of the Spindletop geyser in 1901 drove huge growth in the oil industry. Within a year, more than 1,500 oil companies had been chartered, and oil became the dominant fuel of the 20th century and an integral part of the American economy.
The petroleum industry includes the global processes of exploration, extraction, refining, transporting (often by oil tankers and pipelines), and marketing petroleum products. The largest volume products of the industry are fuel oil and gasoline (petrol). Petroleum (oil) is also the raw material for many chemical products, including pharmaceuticals, solvents, fertilizers, pesticides, and plastics. The industry is usually divided into three major components: upstream, midstream and downstream. Midstream operations are usually included in the downstream category.
Petroleum is vital to many industries, and is of importance to the maintenance of industrial civilization in its current configuration, and thus is a critical concern for many nations. Oil accounts for a large percentage of the world’s energy consumption, ranging from a low of 32% for Europe and Asia, to a high of 53% for the Middle East.
Other geographic regions’ consumption patterns are as follows: South and Central America (44%), Africa (41%), and North America (40%). The world consumes 30 billion barrels (4.8 km³) of oil per year, with developed nations being the largest consumers. The United States consumed 25% of the oil produced in 2007.[1] The production, distribution, refining, and retailing of petroleum taken as a whole represents the world’s largest industry in terms of dollar value.
Governments such as the United States government provide a heavy public subsidy to petroleum companies, with major tax breaks at virtually every stage of oil exploration and extraction, including the costs of oil field leases and drilling equipmen[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Introduced in the update on 04.25.2016, the Oil Pipeline is located east of the starting game zone in the desert. To complete the construction 81 single segments has to been built.
A total of 729 assets are needed to complete construction of the Oil Pipeline. This is equivalent to 729 Megabucks sm if one were to buy every asset instead of waiting to receive them from neighbors.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=»1/3″][vc_single_image image=»1593″ img_link_target=»_self» title=»More Photos» img_size=»medium» img_link_large=»yes»][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=»1/3″][vc_single_image image=»1594″ img_link_target=»_self» title=»More Photos» img_size=»medium» img_link_large=»yes»][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=»1/3″][vc_single_image image=»1591″ img_link_target=»_self» title=»More Photos» img_size=»medium» img_link_large=»yes»][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=»1/1″][vc_single_image image=»1178″ img_link_target=»_self» img_link_large=»yes»][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_wp_posts show_date=»1″ title=»Breaking News» number=»4″][vc_single_image image=»829″ img_link_target=»_self» title=»Christmas is here, Don’t miss it!» img_size=»200×100″ img_link_large=»yes»][/vc_column][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_posts_slider type=»flexslider_fade» interval=»5″ slides_content=»teaser» slides_title=»1″ link=»link_post» orderby=»date» order=»DESC» title=»Interesting News» posttypes=»post»][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=»1/1″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=»1/3″][vc_single_image image=»1181″ img_link_target=»_self» title=»More Photos» img_size=»medium» img_link_large=»yes»][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=»1/3″][vc_single_image image=»1180″ img_link_target=»_self» title=»More Photos» img_size=»medium» img_link_large=»yes»][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=»1/3″][vc_single_image image=»1179″ img_link_target=»_self» title=»More Photos» img_size=»medium» img_link_large=»yes»][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_posts_slider type=»flexslider_fade» interval=»5″ slides_content=»teaser» slides_title=»1″ link=»link_post» orderby=»date» order=»DESC» title=»Interesting News» posttypes=»post»][/vc_column][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_single_image image=»829″ img_link_target=»_self» title=»Summer attractions , Don’t miss it!» img_size=»200×100″ img_link_large=»yes»][vc_wp_posts show_date=»1″ title=»Breaking News» number=»4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_wp_posts show_date=»1″ title=»Breaking News» number=»4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_gallery type=»flexslider_fade» interval=»3″ images=»1595,1594,1591,1600,1589″ onclick=»link_image» custom_links_target=»_self»][/vc_column][/vc_row]
