Crude Formation And Production. How Is Crude Oil Formed? It is generally believed that crude oil was formed from the remains of animals and plants (called biomass) that lived many years ago. Over eons the biomass was covered by layers of mud, silt, and sand that formed into sedimentary rock. Geologic heat and the pressure of the overlying rock turned the biomass into a hydrocarbon-rich liquid that we call crude oil, and eventually forced it into porous rock strata called reservoirs.
crude oil is the result of millions of years of forest foliage decomposing and filtering into the earth where it is trapped in chambers. <br /><br /> The 2 elements that make up crude oil are hydrogen and carbon. The number of each in each strand varies depending on the strand, One of the longest strands in oil is plastic and one of the shortest is methane just to give some figures.
