    The document discusses the history and statistics of petroleum production from its earliest recorded sources. It notes that the first recorded production of crude petroleum was in 1857 in Romania with an output of 275 metric tons. In 1859, the United States began commercial production, yielding 274 metric tons that year. Italy was the next country to produce quantities for recording, starting in 1860, although its total output until 1890 was only about 6,000 metric tons. Canada and Russia began petroleum production in 1862 and 1863, respectively.
