[During the industrial revolution of the nineteenth century, the use of coal as fuel set the “train” of progress in motion, which definitely induced a significant improvement in the living standards. After several discoveries, inventions, and innovations, the use of crude oil, the so-called black gold, enabled humanity to reach a higher level of prosperity, especially so between the end of the second World War and the oil embargo crisis. Currently, crude oil is the most traded commodity in the world market and is the main feedstock to produce a wide range of fuels and products such as plastics, textile fibers, dyes, etc.]
