Detailed explanation-1: -On this site Edwin Drake drilled the world’s first oil well, striking oil on August 27, 1859.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Oil’s first use in the Industrial Revolution was for heating and lighting via kerosene, a petroleum-derived fuel that was better than previous methods as it burned less and could be produced more cheaply.
