Summary
Advances in technologies that were unimaginable a century ago have helped in establishing the current high standards of living. Undoubtedly, the oil and gas industry has played a pivotal role in this respect. Thanks to the advent of the petroleum industry, the use of oil and gas has created new factories and revolutionized industries such as transportation and power generation for more than a century. Liquid fuels have impacted transportation and have made various communities closer. The reliance on liquid and gaseous fuels has affected the lives of every person in the world with the invention of air transportation and personal vehicles.
