What is petrolum?:
Is a mixture of compounds, hydrocarbons (Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes and Cycloalkanes)

  • You can find in Liquid, solid and gaseous state
  • Found underground

It is natural and is composed of hydrocarbon deposits and other organic materials. It can be produce to make gasoline, diesel and various forms of petrochemicals. It is a nonrenewable resource.

liquid fuel source located in the underground, fuel was created by the remains of the prehistoric algae.
the fuel is considered nonrenewable.

Shale oil is crude oil that lies between layers of shale rock. The rock must be broken up to allow access to the layers of oil.
