Crude oil is a naturally occurring petroleum product composed of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights and miscellaneous organic compounds. It is called a fossil fuel because it is made up of ancient fossils. The oil in use today came from water-based plants and animals that lived even before the existence of dinosaurs. It is a non-renewable resource, which is extracted from the earth by oil drilling. It is usually found alongside other resources, such as natural gas and saline water. After its extraction, crude oil is refined to produce various types of fuels, including gasoline, kerosene, diesel, and various other forms of petrochemicals. It can also be used to create products that aren't typically associated with petroleum, like perfume, fertiliser, and computers are all made with crude oil. Although it is often called black gold, crude oil’s colour may vary in black, dark brown, yellow, red, or even green depending on its hydrocarbon composition. Crude oil also is categorised as ‘sweet’ or ‘sour’ depending on the level of sulphur, which occurs either as elemental sulphur or in compounds such as hydrogen sulphide. Crude oil is a global commodity that trades in markets around the world, both as spot oil and via derivatives contracts. More
