Oil and Gas are the main industries in the energy market and play an influential role in the global market. We rely on oil for transportation, heating and electricity, industrial production, and manufacturing. Gas fuels many industrial processes that produce materials and goods.

There are two main categories of modern mining: surface mining and underground mining. In surface mining, the ground is blasted to allow ore’s close to the Earth’s surface to be removed and extract the minerals.
