Oil is the main source of energy, accounting for about 32% of the world's energy consumption. Historically, the use of its resources replaced mainly the use of the mineral coal like energetic source, being superior. The great revolution in the use of oil and its derivatives came with the invention of automobiles in the middle of 1887. In this way, the history of oil, since its discovery, is directly related to the history of the modern productive system development. Thus, the use of oil both as an energy source and as a raw material for other industries was, and still is, a major economic influencer. Over the years, there have been some changes in the barrel of oil prices, shocks, and these fluctuations in the price dynamics had an impact on the economic market. Oil has a high energy density, which is directly related to the concentration of power, resource and wealth. Considering the importance of the use of this mineral for the industrialized economies, this work brings a historical retrospective with the landmarks of its discovery, worldwide and Brazilian. Deepening into Brazil, with the struggle for the nationalization of oil, and the quest for self-sufficiency. In addition, bringing an analysis of the price variation in the main shocks, making an interpretation of the economy performance of some countries during these periods, through indicators such as GDP (Gross Domestic Product).
