Oil and gas are chemicals made from molecules containing just carbon and hydrogen. All living things are made of complex molecules of long strings of carbon atoms. Connected to these carbon atoms are others such as hydrogen and oxygen. A simple molecule, called methane (CH4), is the main component of natural gas.
Crude oil (oil obtained from the ground) is a sticky, gooey black stuff. It contains many different molecules, but all are made of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

∙ 12y agoMany different fuels are obtained from refining crude oil, including liquified petroleum gas or LPG (propane/butane, used for cooking and heating), gasoline, naphtha (camp stove fuels), kerosene (jet fuel), and diesel fuel.
There are also other by products that consist of longer/heavier hydrocarbons, but they are generally not fuels (oils, wax etc.).

What is the difference between crude palm kernel oil and refined palm kernel oil?
Crude oil is the naturally occurring flammable liquid found deep down beneath the earth surface especially in rock deposits. It contains a mixture of hydrocarbons each with different boiling points.Refined oil is what is obtained after crude oil has gone through a process of 'fractional distillation' or other similar procedures which reduces the original crude form to simpler hydrocarbons which can be obtained in a fractional distillation column at different stages depending on the temperature of each constituent hydrocarbon.
