Description:

Oil plays a significant part in global economy, politics, and the environment. The control of the oil market has caused wars and conflicts throughout this century. While it is hard to imagine life without petrochemicals, their increasing production has adverse effects on the environment. In addition to a brief review of the geological formation, exploration, drilling, production, and conversion of oil, this course studies the paradoxical role oil has played in shaping the economical and social structure of both exporting and industrial countries.
