Oil, or petroleum, is a naturally occurring, yellowish-black liquid found in geological formations beneath the Earth's surface. It is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatic hydrocarbons. Oil is a vital primary energy source. It is commonly used as a fuel for transportation (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel), heating, and electricity generation. It's also a crucial raw material in the production of plastics, chemicals, and various other products.
