2. Let's Talk About the History of Oil and Gas

from Let’s Talk Energy Podcast · host Kirti Chintalapudi

In the second episode of the Let’s Talk Energy Podcast, I cover the history of oil and gas, from their formation millions of years ago to their early use in ancient civilizations. Highlights include Edwin Drake’s first commercial oil well in 1859, the rise and breakup of Standard Oil, and major discoveries in Texas and the Middle East. I also discuss how technological advances, like LNG, expanded natural gas from local use to a global energy source, and how the industry is working to address environmental challenges.  00:00 Introduction to Oil and Gas 02:17 Early Uses and Discoveries 03:22 Rise of the Modern Petroleum Industry 04:15 Standard Oil and Industry Domination 06:16 Technological Advancements in Oil Extraction 07:05 History and Evolution of Natural Gas 10:24 Conclusion and Future Outlook Sources: International Energy Agency.

The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
