| Čoahkkáigeassu: | The historic oil mine and the Ignacy Łukasiewicz Museum of Oil and Gas Industry, located on its grounds,
are situated in southeastern Poland, in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, near the national road connecting
Rzeszów to the Slovakian border crossing at Barwinek.
Bóbrka is located in the Jasło-Krosno Basin, one of the oldest regions in Europe and the world for oil and natural gas
extraction (the Krosno-Jasło Oil Basin). The mine is positioned at a distance from the built-up area of Bóbrka village,
on the edge of a large forest complex stretching in a wide band for approximately 20 kilometres. It was here, 170 years
ago, at the site of natural oil seepages—then known as rock oil—that the mine was established, marking the beginning
of industrial exploitation of this valuable resource.
The industrial extraction and use of oil revolutionised the world, driving yet another industrial revolution in human history. The civilisational and environmental impacts of this discovery are still felt today, significantly
influencing the course of modern civilisation. Oil remains a cornerstone of the global economy, serving as an energy
resource that provides approximately 33% of the world’s energy and as one of the most important raw materials
for the chemical industry.
