石油是一种常规能源。我国是世界上最早发现和使用石油的国家之一,早在二千年前就采集利用石油了,但“石油”这一名称的出现却很晚。从目前有据可查的最早有关石油文字资料看,公元一世纪东汉史学家班固所著《汉书·地理志》载:“高奴(今陕北延长一带),有洧水可鷇(燃)。”这里说的“洧水可燃”当是水中有石油并可点燃。西晋张华的《博物志》中有:酒泉郡延寿“县(今玉门一带)南有山,石出泉水……其水有肥,如煮肉洎(汤),羕羕永永如不凝膏,然(燃)之极明,不可食,县人谓之石漆”。张华对石油作了比较深入详细的描述,并根据当地人将石油命名为 Oil is a conventional energy source. As one of the first countries in the world to find and use oil, China collected and utilized petroleum as early as two thousand years ago. However, the name “petroleum” appears very late. From the earliest evidence of the petroleum texts, the first Han dynasty historian Bangu in the “Han Geographical Chi” contains: “Gao Nu (now extended to the north of Shaanxi Province) Burning). ”Said here “ flammable combustible ”When there is oil in the water and can be ignited.

Zhang Hua made a more detailed and detailed description of oil, and named the oil according to the locals
