INTRODUCTIONPetroleum, or crude oil, naturally occurring
oily, bituminous liquid composed of various organic chemicals.
It is found in large quantities below the surface of Earth and is used as a fuel and as a raw material in the chemical industry.
Modern industrial societies use it primarily to achieve a degree of mobility—on land, at sea, and in the air—that was barely imaginable less than 100 years ago. In addition, petroleum and its derivatives are used in the manufacture of medicines and fertilizers, foodstuffs, plastics, building materials, paints, and cloth and to generate electricity.

Modern farming techniques depend on extensive use of fossil fuels—oil, gasoline, and natural gas—for a variety of tasks.
Fuels are needed to operate machines for plowing, planting, and harvesting, to make fertilizers and pesticides, and to build irrigation systems. After food is harvested, energy from fossil fuels is used to transport and process food.
Although fossil fuel supplies are ample for the near future, they cannot last forever.
Also, extensive use of fossil fuels damages the environment, contributing to air, soil, and water pollution, ozone depletion (see Ozone Layer), and global warming.

NORTH-EAST USEA great number of burners fired with
Petroleum rigs which were installed, as newly built transmission lines brought Petroleum into the heavily populated areas of the Northeast. This reflected the growing popularity of automatic heating installations, plus increased new-home construction.
Natural gas is now being used in more homes than any other fuel. It has displaced mixed and manufactured gas. New York City, for example, has recently completed the change-over from mixed to natural gas started several years ago.
Another growing use of natural gas has been as a raw material in the expanding petrochemical industry.

ROCKET USESolid rocket fuels are called composite
fuels and are composed of synthetic rubbers or
plastics with additives.
These additives include binders that hold
the fuel together, powdered metals that increase
specific impulses, and chemicals that control the
speed at which the propellant grain burns.
Usually, the faster a rocket burns, the more
thrust it produces.
The rocket also uses up its fuel
faster if the fuel burns faster.

Engineers must take the burning rate into
account when they design solid-fueled rockets,
because stopping the propellant from burning
once it has ignited is very difficult.
Rockets such as booster rockets, which must
produce large amounts of thrust in a short period
of time, use chemicals to increase the burning
rate.

Other rockets that need to produce less
thrust over a longer period of time use chemicals
to decrease the burning rate.
The longer-burning rockets are called
sustainers.
A few types of rockets have small tanks and
pumps that can spray water or another
extinguisher on the propellant to stop its burning.

The demand has increased enormously as airplane production has expanded to a level of about 100,000 planes in 1943.
A single Flying Fortress uses gasoline at the rate of 6 bbl. per hour of flying time, and a raid using 100 planes may require as much as 36,000 bbl.
Ground warfare is also a heavy consumer of gasoline; the tanks of an armored division require 6 bbl. per mile, not to mention trucks, jeeps, staff cars, and other vehicles in a mechanized unit.
