Â­ Crude oil is the term for unprocessed oil, the stuff that comes out of the ground. It is also known as petroleum. Crude oil is a fossil fuel, meaning that it was made naturalÂ­ly from decaying plants and animals living in ancient seas millions of years ago -- most places you can find crude oil were once sea beds. Crude oils vary in color, from clear to tar-black, and in viscosity, from water to almost solid.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) cannot determine the exact amount of crude oil produced in the United States that is consumed in the United States. However, most of the crude oil produced in the United States is refined in U.S. refineries to make petroleum products. The United States exports small volumes of domestically produced crude oil, most of it to Canada, some of which may actually return to the United States as refined products.
