First, the workers must get the oil. This is the hardest part of the oil industry. There are many ways to find oil, but the most common is seismology-causing shock waves to locate the oil. Once the oil is found, drills are used to get to it. If the oil is underwater, oil rigs-large structures with facilities to drill wells-are built to retrieve it.
Next, the oil has to be transported. Workers need to be careful because that's when oil spills happen. Oil spills can be caused by natural disasters, but most of the time
