Oil, like coal and natural gas, is a fossil. Fuel fossils are made from the remains of dead plants
and animals. It is thought that oil comes from tiny plants and animals whose bodies fell in their
millions to the seabed when they died. There they were covered by sand and mud, which later
hardened into rocks. In the course of millions of years, the plant and animal materials underwent
chemical changes and eventually turned into oil.
Oil Deposits lie hidden deep beneath the surface of earth. They have to be searched for. Unless
the oil actually comes to the surface, it is impossible to be certain that any is present.
The during demand for oil products keeps the oil companies busy exploring new oil fields, and
drilling new wells. Exploration teams are sent to distant regions to search for oil. If the exploration
shows good results, the company decides to drill a well. Thus, the exploration phase ends, and
the production phase begins.
At the beginning of the production phase, gas pressure from below causes the crude oil to gush to
the surface with great force. After some time, however, the gas pressure is less, and a pumping
station must be built to bring up the oil. Wells continue to produce oil for several years, until
productions become so tow that must be abandoned.
Crude oil has to be transported to a refinery to be made into the many products that are useful to
man, such as patrol, kerosene, diesel oil, lubricants, asphalt. Further processing gives aviation
fuel, greases, fertilizers, insecticides, man-made fibers and many other things.
The oil industry has a very complex and widespread distribution system. Ocean tankers,
pipelines, rail tankers, and road tankers are used to bring the oil products to sea-ports, inland
depths, can and drum factories, and to tens of thousands of petrol stations in cities and along
motorways.
More than any other, the oil industry influences the lives of men and women everywhere. From
the largest to the simplest home, whose need may only be kerosene for its lamps and stoves.

felt something strange about the motorcycle. Bobby told me that we were out of gasoline. I was

shopping and our home was still about 5 kilometers away. We had no choice but to push the
motorcycle all way home.

was happening. We briefly told him about our problem. Surprisingly, he gave us some money to buy

The donkey or ass (Equus africanus asinus), is a domesticated member of the horse family, Equidae.
The wild ancestor of the donkey is the African wild ass, E. africanus. The donkey has been used as a
working animal for at least 5000 years. There are more than 40 million donkeys in the world, mostly in
underdeveloped countries, where they are used principally as draught or pack animals. Working
donkeys are often associated with those living at or below subsistence levels. Small numbers of
donkeys are kept for breeding or as pets in developed countries.

A male donkey or ass is called a jack, a female a jenny or jennet; a young donkey is a foal. Jack
donkeys are often used to mate with female horses to produce mules — the biological “reciprocal” of

around the world. They continue to fill important roles in many places today. While domesticated
species are increasing in numbers, the African wild ass and another relative, the onager, are

humans for millennia.
