First oil field in the world
Arizona became a petroleum-producing state in 1954 with a natural gas well drilled by Shell Oil Company. The first significant oil production arrived in 1959 with a well completed by the Texas Pacific Coal and Oil Company. Apache County in the northeast corner of the state remains the only petroleum-producing county. However, 94% of known oil is concentrated in fewer than 1500 giant and major fields. Most of the world's largest oilfields are located in the Middle East , but there are also supergiant (>10 billion bbls) oilfields in Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela, Kazakhstan, and Russia. The First Oil Field in the Middle East This year marks the 110th anniversary of the discovery of the Masjid Suleiman oil field in southwest Persia (Iran), which ushered in a new era in the history of the Middle East. This is the story of the men whose vision, interests and perseverance made it happen. The First Oil Field in the Middle East Although the first oil from the Norwegian continental shelf was in 1971, oil production in the US began as early as the 1860s. In Pennsylvania, USA, The McClintock Well No. 1 was drilled in August 1861, and is still producing—just—today. Safaniya field in the Persian Gulf, Saudi Arabia, is the world’s largest offshore field. It is owned and operated by Saudi Aramco, the national oil and natural gas company of Saudi Arabia. The field is believed to contain an estimated total reserve of more than 50 billion barrels.
The Drilling of the First Oil Well The history of the oil business as we know it began in 1859 in Pennsylvania, thanks to Edwin L. Drake, a career railroad conductor who devised a way to drill a practical oil well.
The once and future king of the world's oil fields, Ghawar, in Saudi Arabia, ranks first on our list. It is thought to have had more than 100 billion barrels of recoverable oil in place. At 160 With 300,878 million barrels of proven reserves, Venezuela has the largest amount of proven oil reserves in the world. The country's oil is a relatively new discovery. Previously, Saudi Arabia had always held the number one position. The United States is the top oil-producing country in the world, with an average of 17.87 million b/d, which accounts for 18% of the world's production. This is up from the 15.6 million b/d in 2017. The first offshore oil field ceased existence in 1825 when a huge storm ravaged all wells in the Caspian 1807 - Streets of London lit by coal oil 1814 - One of the first wells that produced oil which was marketed was drilled near Marietta, Ohio, in 1814 (Hildreth 1833, p. 64). With this figure, Romania was registered as the first country in world oil production statistics, before other large oil producing states such as the United States of America (1860), Russia (1863), Mexico (1901) or Persia (1913 ). In 1875, crude oil was discovered by David Beaty at his home in Warren, Pennsylvania. The first oil corporation, which was created to develop oil found floating on water near Titusville, Pennsylvania, was the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company of Connecticut (later the Seneca Oil
The first of the big spouters blew out in 1873 on the Balakhani Plateau, which was the high ground of the Apsheron Peninisula, beneath which lies a giant anticline that is responsible for the prolific oil production. The Balakhani field during the 1870s was the largest oil field in the world.

In 1857, the total production of Romania was amounted to 275 tons of crude oil.
