Usually not. A mineral is a naturally occurring solid chemical substance formed through biogeochemical processes, having characteristic chemical composition, highly ordered atomic structure, and specific physical properties. Oils don't usually have solid material in them, and when you do have grit or dust suspended in a viscous oil it is not considered part of the oil.

Can oil and natural gas be classified as minerals?
obviously the previous answer is incorrect, the true answer is that natural gas and oil is NOT minerals because they both lack a crystal structure and a solid form. +++ That's not correct either: I am not sure about natural gas, but oil is regarded as a mineral. Although many minerals are indeed crystalline, that property does not necessarily define a mineral. Coal, iron-ore and clay are amorphous minerals, too, for example.
