How Oil is obtained
We extract the oil from the ground and then we transport it where it’s needed.
How oil is Distributed
Oil Tankers
Today oil tankers are now designed by computers, also now they are safer, better at handling and stronger than the original tankers.
Pipelines
Pipelines are used for most of transporting oil to the consumers that want to by oil,in the nation we have more than 190,000 miles of liquid pipelines and over 300,000 miles of natural gas pipelines, and that is how we transport our natural resources to people who want to buy. Pipelines are safe, efficient and, because most are buried, largely unseen.
Pipeline Performance Tracking System
The Pipeline Performance Tracking System, PPTS, is used to make sure that the pipelines are running smoothly. And it also lets them know if somethings wrong and how to fix it.
Rail Transportation
Rail roads are good for transporting oil and goods to places where there needed. they can get to places that oil tankers and other things cant, also they are safe and easy to use.

How is it formed
Over millions of years, layer after layer of sediment and other plants and bacteria were formed. As they became buried deeper, heat and pressure began to rise. This process gave rise to a material building up creating oil.
