人类发现石油已有两千年的历史了,大规模、工业化的开采、利用,也有百余年时间。石油,在人类现代文明社会中几乎无处不在。石油是怎么形成的?从它被人们发现以后。这个问题就一直困扰着学者和千千万万普通百姓。早在本世纪初期,一些美国地质学家根据当时所发现的油田,断言只有在与海洋有关的沉积岩层中才有可能找到石油。在相当长的一段时期内,美国、墨西哥湾、加拿大和俄罗斯找到的大油田都证实了这一论点的正确性,尤其是中东的 Humans have found oil for two thousand years, and large-scale and industrialized exploitation and utilization have been carried out for more than 100 years.
