Talk:Petroleum industry

No Mention of Standard Oil?
An article about the petroleum industry and there’s not a single mention of Standard Oil on the entire page? Standard Oil WAS the modern petroleum industry in the second half of the 19th Century, and it’s divested companies dominated the first half of the 20th Century. These energy companies are still dominant today in their current forms.

Ivan Mirzoev
Armenians established the oil industry in Azerbaijan, and the first person who drilled oil was Ivan Mirzoev. He is referred to as one of the 'founding fathers' of the oil industry in Baku.

Above statement is not correct. First, could not find this "Armenians established the oil industry in Azerbaijan" stated in provided sources. Secondly, Ivan Mirzoev can not be the first person who drilled oil well in 1872, because we have reports about the first land wells since 1593. According to the source Mirzoev was one of those who DRILLED well using the wooden oil derrick. Considering that I rephrasing sentence as such: The first drilled oil wells in Baku were built in 1871-1872 by Ivan Mirzoev, who is referred to as one of the 'founding fathers' of the oil industry in Baku.
