Crude oil, also known as petroleum, is a naturally occurring, unrefined substance found beneath the Earth’s surface. It consists of hydrocarbon deposits formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms.
Crude oil varies in composition, density, and viscosity depending on its source. It typically appears as a dark, viscous liquid and contains a mixture of hydrocarbons, sulfur, nitrogen, and other organic compounds.
Crude oil serves as the raw material for the production of various fuels and petrochemical products.
