Final answer:

Most of our petroleum is obtained through drilling and extraction from underground reservoirs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most of our petroleum is obtained through drilling and extraction from underground reservoirs. Drilling rigs are used to drill deep into the Earth's crust to reach the underground reservoirs where petroleum is trapped. Once the drill reaches the reservoir, the petroleum is extracted and brought to the surface for refining and processing.
