Demand for gas and oil is increasing and so finding new sources in remote and untouched areas is a necessity. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

As

products boomed in the

century, the issue of finding new and sustainable sources has risen significantly. There are groups of people that believe the exploratory expedition to discover pristine sources should continue in order to support its consumers. While

this

mindset may have its advantages, there are

also

some drawbacks that should be addressed. One of the main advantages that new excavations bring is that they ensure the continuity of the raw product to be used in the industries,

for example

oil

refineries. By securing the flow of raw material, they avoid disrupting the current production line, which could have significantly

financial and technical effect.

For example

a petrochemical facility failing to procure the required materials, will be faced with monetary issued due to lack of sales and will

also

need an overhaul due to the interrupt in the production line.

On the other hand

, altering the whole implemented system to use another source is either extremely costly or sometimes impossible.

For example

, redesigning a

to use clean energy

of gas is ought to be incredibly expensive, let alone tremendously complex. But

this

should

also

be considered that discovering a new field which is rich enough with

oil

or gas to be used as an upcoming source is not always an economical choice either. The cost of exploration, research, analysis, and examination that should be done is remarkably high too.

This

would raise the price of the substance, which raises the production costs, making the whole process less cost-effective. The same reasoning could be applied to transportation. Since the new lands are likely to be more distant than the current sources, the added miles will emerge extra transportation cost, rendering the outcome less beneficial. By the way of conclusion, the ever increasing demand for

oil

and gas has forced us to look for fresh sources of

this

kind of fuel. For

this

reason, it is necessary to explore the parts of the planet that are still uninfluenced.

Although

is apparently

and technically helpful to entities consuming these materials, there might be unaccounted costs involved.
