Product Description
In Finding and Using Oil, we find out how science and technology help us find, refine, and use the substance also known as "black gold". We learn the importance of understanding the chemistry of hydrocarbons, how they can be separated into useful fuels, and how oil is the basis for plastics. We also discuss the world's oil reserves, their sustainability, and our continued reliance on oil as a fuel.
