oil field

An oil field is a geographic area where oil deposits are found underground. It includes the underground reservoirs containing crude oil and the surface facilities used to extract, process, and transport the oil. Exploration involves locating these underground reservoirs, often using seismic surveys. Extraction involves drilling wells to access the oil, which is then brought to the surface for refining into products like gasoline and plastics. Oil fields can vary greatly in size and complexity, but essentially, they are regions where valuable underground oil resources are accessed and managed for production.
