water, from a few hundred feet below the surface to as deep as 25,000 feet into the earth‟s interior.

Sometimes crude oils is secured by drilling a hole through the earth, but more dry hole are drilling than

those producing oil. Pressure at the source or pumping forces crude oil to the surface.

are always measured in 42-gallons barrels.

regardless, their chemical composition is made up of only two elements: carbon and hydrogen, which

from compounds called hydrocarbons. Other chemical elements found in union with the hydrocarbons
