Mineral oil is a mixture of complex hydrocarbons, mainly cyclic paraffins and alkanes (ideally 15 to 40 percent carbons). Mineral oil is chemically the same as petroleum jelly or white mineral oil, except it is liquid petroleum which makes it an ideal choice for several applications.
naturally occurring unprocessed crude oil and petroleum products that are made up of refined crude oil.

Petroleum is recovered mostly through oil drilling.
