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 a liquid found naturally in rock containing mostly complex hydrocarbons with some additional organic material it is the major fuel used on the planet and is used in the production of many synthetic materials like plastics as wellrude oil is a mixture of complex hydrocarbons that is extracted from beneath the earth s surface an oil well crude oil can be refined into other petroleum products
