How is crude oil brought to earths surface?
oil rigs- they drill in the ground (or in the ground under the sea) until hey reach a pocket of oil. they then connect the pocket to a pipeline and pump it to the surface
How is crude oil brought to the surface of the earth?
Oil often seeps to the surface, but when it is deep in the earth it is pumped out through an oil well.
What is crude oil and how is it brought to the surface of the earth?
it's pumped through a gold pipe and into a giant volcano
How is crude oil excavated?
Crude oil is excavated using an excavation machine. Crude oil easily comes to the surface and is easy to excavate, while shale oil is not.
How is underground oil used?
It is brought to the surface and taken to an oil refinery where the different components are separated, like heating oil, diesel, gasoline, aviation fuel. These are different fractions of the crude oil from the well.

Where is crude oil and how do you get it?
Crude oil is a type of pure oil that is brought up to our surface by oil wells. Most of the places that we obtain oil is from the Middle East(Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia). You can probably buy containers of crude oil on craigslist or on eBay but I don't understand what you would use it for......
Are plastics from crude oil biodegradable?
No because crude oil does get to the surface so there are bugs that destroy it.

What is crude oil and how is it brought to surface of the earth?
Crude oil, also known as petroleum, is a mixture of hydrocarbons. In many cases it is already under pressure because of the weight of the ground on top of it, so if you drill a hole into the pocket of oil, the oil will come up by itself. However, in some cases it has to be pumped out.
How was crude oil brought to the surface of earth?
Man-made devices are pumps of one kind or another. But long ago you could find puddles and lakes of oil but people thought that they were a problem.
Why was crude oil invented?
Crude oil wasn't 'invented' ! It is a natural resource. There is a finite amount of crude oil in the Earth's surface - which will eventually run out... forcing us to use alternatives whether we want to - or not ! !
What happens to crude oil once it has been brought to the earths surface?
Crude oil must be processed and stored. The processing in needed to remove gas and water that may be present. In some fields, there may be sour gas, that must be processed (amine units are common) to remove the hydrogen sulfide. Sand may be present, particularly in heavy oil deposits, which requires special processing. The processing is called separation. A separator is a large cylinder where oil, water and gas can settle and be removed. Crude oil may go through several separators, in order to have an acceptable crude for the refinery. The crude oil typically will go to storage tanks, and from there be shipped by pipeline or tanker to the refinery, where it will undergo fractional distillation on a very large scale to separate it into usable materials.
