Crude oil is a liquid found naturally in rock, containing mostly complex hydrocarbons, with some additional organic material. It is the major fuel used on the planet, and is used in the production of many synthetic materials like plastics as well.rude oil is the liquid form of petroleum, natural gas is the gaseous form of petroleum, and oil shale and sands are the semi-solid forms of petroleum. Both petroleum and coal come from decayed organic matter that was compressed underneath layers of sedimentary rock deep below the Earthâs surface.
We use the term 'petroleum products after crude oil is refined in a factory. Crude oil can exist either deep down in the earth's surface or deep below the ocean beds. In oil drilling, a structure called 'derrick' is built with pipes going down to the reservoir and bringing the oil to the surface. Saudi Arabia, USA, Russia, China and Iran are among the top crude oil producers in the world, and the USA is the world's biggest consumer of crude oil, followed by China.
