The past century saw the dominance of fossil fuels as the chief source of energy for the sustenance of the global economic machinery. Among these fuels, crude oil has controlled almost all the aspects of the energy business. It is defined as a mixture of compounds composed primarily of carbon and hydrogen in varying proportions with the presence of inorganic compounds such as nitrogen, sulfur, and metals like vanadium and mercury. Crude oil is found in specific rock formations, called reservoirs, deep in the earth's crust. The depth at which these reservoirs occur can vary significantly from pools, which flow up to the surface to almost 15,000 meters underground. The method employed to get to these reservoirs of black gold is through drilling the surface until it reaches the pre-defined depth.
