原油是一种重要的能源和化工原料，广泛用于交通运输、工业生产、农业等领域。原油的开采和贸易历史可以追溯到几千年前的古代，但是现代的原油市场形成却是在20世纪初。

19世纪末到20世纪初，随着内燃机的发明和普及，原油的需求量逐渐增加。在这个时期，许多国家开始进行原油勘探和开采，并且建立了相关的石油工业。1908年，美国成立了标准石油公司，这是世界上第一个大型石油公司，标志着现代石油工业的开始。

在20世纪60年代，随着美国石油进口量的不断增加，美国国会开始关注原油市场，并制定了相关的法律和法规来监管原油市场。同时，世界上其他国家也开始对原油市场进行监管和控制。

目前，全球的原油市场已经形成了以几家大型跨国公司为主导的格局。这些公司在全球范围内进行原油贸易和运输，并对原油市场价格有着重要影响。此外，许多国家还有自己的石油公司，参与原油市场的交易和竞争。

总的来说，现代原油市场的形成和发展与内燃机的发明和普及密不可分，同时也受到全球政治、经济、环境等多种因素的影响。

Crude oil is an important energy source and chemical raw material widely used in transportation, industrial production, agriculture and other fields. The history of crude oil exploration and trade can be traced back to ancient times, but the modern crude oil market formed in the early 20th century.

From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, with the invention and popularization of internal combustion engines, the demand for crude oil gradually increased. During this period, many countries began to explore and extract crude oil, and established related petroleum industries. In 1908, the Standard Oil Company was established in the United States, which was the first large-scale oil company in the world, marking the beginning of the modern petroleum industry.

In the 1960s, with the increasing imports of crude oil in the United States, Congress began to pay attention to the crude oil market and formulated relevant laws and regulations to regulate it. At the same time, other countries around the world also began to regulate and control the crude oil market.

Currently, the global crude oil market has formed a pattern dominated by several large multinational companies. These companies trade and transport crude oil globally and have a significant impact on crude oil market prices. In addition, many countries have their own oil companies that participate in the trading and competition of the crude oil market.

Overall, the formation and development of the modern crude oil market are closely related to the invention and popularization of internal combustion engines, while also being influenced by global politics, economy, environment and other factors.
