Oil wells are drilled, completed, perforated, hydraulically fractured and put on production.
Answer:
Crude oil can be obtained from conventional oil wells which are essentially pipes drilled into porous rock formations where oil has been trapped. Oil is also recoverable from "wet" natural gas where the oil condensate is removed from the extracted gas.
Non-conventional sources include:
- Oil sands open pit recovery where bituminous sands are removed by mining equipmentand have the oill extracted at a plant site.
- In situ oil sands operations where the oily sands are left in place and the oils liberated by steam injection (SAGD), CO2 injection, fire floods or solvents
- Shale oil where the oil is trapped in shale which must be processed like oil sands
