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.

Crude oil is excavated by drilling wells into underground reservoirs where the oil is trapped. Once a well is drilled, the pressure underground allows the oil to flow up through the well to the surface. The oil is then collected and transported for refining.
