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 otherwise known as petroleum (from Greek: petra (rock) + Latin: oleum (oil)) is a composition of hydrocarbons (chemicals composed solely of hydrogen and carbon in various molecular arrangements) and other compounds which is usually brown or black in color.edium o i l is defined as having an API gravity between 22.3 Â°API and 31.1 Â°API. Heavy oi l is defined as having an API gravity below 22.3 Â°API. Classifications are made based on the sulfur content as well. Crude oil with low content of sulfur means 'sweet' and the presence of high content sulfur is known as 'sour'.
