    Before oil can be extracted, geologists must examine the land and rock layers underneath the surface. Modern exploration methods allow oil to be found with a high success rate. Most of the world's oil is produced by drilling into the earth's crust. Crude oil is found together with gas, which floats above the oil layer. Offshore rigs are built on platforms in the ocean to drill for oil underneath the ocean floor. After extraction, crude oil is taken to refineries to produce products like petrol, heating oil, and plastics.

    Read the text about how oil is produced. Some of the lines are correct. Some have a
    word that shouldn’t be there. Write this word in the box next to the line. If the line is
    correct put a tick (✓) in the box. The first two lines have been done for you.
