Crude oil is a naturally occurring, unrefined fossil fuel composed of hydrocarbon deposits found beneath the Earth's surface. It is a thick, dark liquid with a complex mixture of various organic compounds. Crude oil is typically extracted from underground reservoirs through drilling and then processed in refineries to produce various petroleum products such as gasosel fuel, jet fuel, and heating oil. It is a vital global energy resource and serves as the primary raw material for the production of numerous products, including plastics, lubricants, and chemicals. Crude oil is a finite resource and its availability, price, and impact on the environment have significant implications for the global economy and energy markets.
