Oil In The Middle East!

Our next trip was to a few locations where the people of Middle Eastern Asia produce an item that we, as humans use every day. We use it in cars, stores, gas stations, clothing, and even food! This magnificent product is called petrolem. Our tour guide told us that we have been using oil from Asia for a little over 5,000 years.

The main spots we get petroleum from are Iran, Iraq, Bahrain, and Kuwait. But, Saudi Arabia produces the very most petroleum out of any of these countries. Saudi Arabia exports 10.72% of all petroleum produced in the world. We also found out that The United States Of America, comes in third place in oil production at 8.37% of all petroleum produced in the world. And that's a lot of petroluem!
