The nationalization of the Iran oil industry movement (Persian: ملی شدن صنعت نفت‎ ‎ ) was a movement in the Iranian parliament (Majlis) to nationalize Iran's oil industry.  The legislation was passed on March 15, 1951 and was verified by the Majlis on March 17, 1951.  The legislation led to the nationalization of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (AIOC).  The movement was led by Mohammad Mosaddegh, a member of the Majlis for the National Front and future prime minister of Iran.  The movement to nationalize the oil industry was the reaction to the following concessions made by Iran to foreign powers: The Reuter concession of 1872, proceeding letter, the 1933 agreement between the Iranian government and AIOC, and the Gas-golshaian contract.  According to the political scientist Mark J. Gasiorowski, the oil nationalization movement had two major consequences: the establishment of a democratic government and the pursuit of Iranian national sovereignty.

The "Dos Bocas" oil fire was a 1908 blowout and oil fire that took place in Veracruz, Mexico.  The fire started after a blowout occurred, causing crude oil to make contact with the flames that powered the oil derrick.  The fire continued from 4 July 1908 to 30 August 1908, when the oil deposit was burnt out.  For the nearly two months that the fire burned, nearly 90000 oilbbl of oil flowed into the surrounding landscape each day.  Ultimately, the "Dos Bocas" blowout (named for the two gaping black holes it left it the ground - "two mouths") ended up being one of the largest oil spills in the history of the oil industry.  The two large craters formed in the ground around the oil well were caused by the pressure of the oilfield.  It was impossible to stop the flow of oil because the well casing had been blown off during the gush.The heat exacerbated the difficulties workers faced when trying to stop the flow of oil.  Temperatures were high which caused those working to put out the fire and contain the spill to be unable to go closer than a few hundred feet.  The oil coming out was a 200 ft column and the fire burned at over 1000 °F .  27 km away from the fire, town residents said that they were able to read a newspaper at night by the light of the flames.
Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil is a 2011 nonfiction book by American author Tom Mueller about olive oil.  The book describes the history of olive oil, including its religious, economic, and culinary uses, as well as the current state of the olive oil industry.
