2. Let's Talk About the History of Oil and Gas
In the second episode of the Let’s Talk Energy Podcast, I cover the history of oil and gas, from their formation millions of years ago to their early use in ancient civilizations. Highlights include Edwin Drake’s first commercial oil well in 1859, the rise and breakup of Standard Oil, and major discoveries in Texas and the Middle East. I also discuss how technological advances, like LNG, expanded natural gas from local use to a global energy source, and how the industry is working to address environmental challenges.
