Is crude oil a mineral?
Under state laws, crude oil is considered to be a mineral. If one owns the "mineral rights" to a piece of land, one has the right to drill for oil. Oil is drilled for, or in essence, "mined," the same as coal and gold. Oil is also a liquid and a fossil fuel. In this respect, it can't be considered what is conventionally thought of as a "mineral" -- which more often brings to mind precious metals, salts, sulfur and the like. However, dictionaries classify petroleum as a mineral.
