  3. Location • Texas is the top Producer of Petroleum in the United States • Followed by Alaska & California • Russia is the #1 producer of Petroleum in the world • Followed by Saudi Arabia & the United States • The majority of the petroleum in the world is found in the Middle East • Panama produces the least amount of Petroleum • 2 Barrels a Day • In 2012, the U.S. produced 6,482 barrels of oil per day

  4. Resource Benefits • The price of petroleum remains low compared to price of things such as wind and solar power • Petroleum is easily transportable • Can withstand high heats without breaking down • Has a high energy density, A little goes a long way • A very stable resource, because of the molecules of carbon and hydrogen in them

  5. Environmental Consequences • Oil Spills • Land & Water • Toxic • Waste Oils • Exhaust • Pollutants released when burned: • Acid Precipitation • Global Warming

  6. Resource Uses • Gasoline • 47% of all of the Petroleum in the World in 2012 • Lubricants • Plastic Bottles • Petroleum Jelly / Vaseline • Wax

  7. Costs • Ultra Deep water, semi submersible off shore oil rig: $560 Million • Heavy Lift Ship: $240 Million • Used to transport the rig into position • Oil Pump Jack: $82,000 • Used to lift the oil up to the surface • Land Rig: $26,950,000 • In 2010 it cost approx. $420,000 a day to run a deepwater oil drill

  8. Applicable Legislation • The Petroleum Act (1934) • States the rules of importing, transporting, storing, producing, refining, and blending of • The Norwegian Petroleum Act • States the rules of licenses, and fees of petroleum and drilling petroleum in Norway • Oil Prevention Pollution Regulation • Set requirement for the prevention of oil spills, as well as prepared for the spills • Clean Water Act • Regulates the releasing of pollutants into the water in the United States as well as standards of quality • Clean Air Act • Regulates the releasing of pollutants into the air, and also sets standards of air quality

  9. Extra Facts • 70% of the worlds energy consumption comes from “Crude Oil” (Petroleum) or other natural gasses • The World consumes around 84 Million Barrels of Petroleum A Day • Was formed more than 300 Million years ago • Has been used for more than 5,000 years • The U.S. uses the most Petroleum a day, between 20.5 & 21 Million Barrels a day
