Oil doesn't really become energy. Like all substances, oil molecules have energy. When oil is reacted with oxygen and heat it burns. This is when oil releases much of its energy.
The energy in oil is 'fossil' sunlight. Oil is made from the body parts of ancient microscopic sea creatures that have become trapped in the sediment in the sea floor when they died. Their bodies contain energy trapped from the sunlight when they were alive and as their bodies are squashed and heated as the sea floor sediments are compressed and turned into rock, the chemicals in them comes out and forms oil in which this sunlight energy still remains.

Oil contain chemicals which release energy when burned
Fuel oil has chemical energy; chemical energy is a type of potential energy.
Oil combust and release energy stored in chemical form to thermal energy.

Oil is potential chemical energy.
In the future, new sources of energy will develop. For example, it may be possible to release energy from hydrogen in water or cold fusion may even become possible. The quicker these new energy sources become possible, the quicker we can stop using fossil fuels such as coal and oil.
Oil has a reserve of chemical energy. If we burn it, that gets converted to heat energy.
yes because oil produces thermal energy
Oil contain chemicals which release energy when burned
No. Oil is an energy sources that we are seeking alternatives to.
Fuel oil has chemical energy; chemical energy is a type of potential energy.
burning oil causes bonds to break between the oil's molecules which releases energy
the energy is sucked in the thing is sucked in then is somehow is in the oil =] the thing is sucked in then is somehow is in the oil =]
Oil contains chemical energy. If it is burned, that's converted to heat energy.
