Oil Wealth

Day 5-Oil!!!

Wow! Look at this picture I took!

We were lucky enough to get close to this giant oil-pumpin'-machine! This is pretty much the biggest in the world! I'm surprised none of the workers chased us away from thier property! Oh well, it wasn't like we were going to steal a few barrels of petroleum anyway!

Hey, did you know that "Petroleum" actually means "rock oil" in Greek? That's probably because it is found in rock formations under the earth's surface!

Here's a list of other countries and how much oil they produce...

In Millions of Barrels Per Day
Saudi Arabia......................................................................10.72
Iran.......................................................................................4.15

United Arab Emirates........................................................2.94
Kuwait..................................................................................2.67
Iraq.......................................................................................2.01

Here's a map showing where some oil reserves are located...

"Yeah! We're going home!"

Gotta go, bye!
