Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Today from crude oil we make gasoline for our cars, diesel fuel for our trucks and ships, and jet fuel for our airplanes. Crude oil is a mixture of organic chemicals of liquids and dissolved gases which are of little use in its crude state. In addition, oil is used to generate electricity, heat our buildings, lubricate our machines, and even make plastics, detergents, and chemicals. Oil has transformed our daily lives. In fact, nearly one-third of the world’s oil comes from offshore fields in our oceans. Areas which are the most popular for oil drilling are the Arabian Gulf, and the Gulf of Mexico. Recently, more attention has been focused on finding and producing oil offshore. One of the first offshore oil rigs was built in 23 feet of water in the Gulf of Mexico in 1947. Because of engineering and technological advances, it is possible to operate in deeper and more hostile waters. We can now build platforms for oil production taller than most of the world’s skyscrapers and anchor them to the sea floor in waters deeper than 1300 feet. The larger platforms hold thousands of tons of equipment and can accommodate hundreds of people who work and live there to ensure that oil is produced around the clock.
