Abstract:
The oil industry marked its 100th anniversary in August 1959, and the income from petroleum operations in North Carolina continues to make an important contribution to the economy. Whether through oil consumption via motor vehicles and airplanes, or oil products such as asphalt for road and highway construction, the oil industry is essential to North Carolina's growth and expansion.
