oil fields
Oil fields are underground or underwater reservoirs where crude oil, a natural resource used to produce fuels and products, accumulates over geological formations. These fields contain oil trapped beneath rock layers, often along with natural gas. Extraction involves drilling wells to access and bring the oil to the surface. Mature fields may produce oil for decades, with efficiency depending on geology, technology, and market factors. Proper management and technology ensure environmentally responsible extraction, making oil fields vital sources of energy but also requiring careful oversight due to environmental and economic considerations.
