  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;span&gt;modern petroleum industry in the United States of America dates from the drilling of the first commercial oil well in 1859. Up to the present, about a million wells have been drilled for oil and gas, and the total production of petroleum has been 22,452,498,000 barrels, which has been contributed by twenty-three of the forty-eight States.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
