No, it is completely different. Petroleum is a fossil fuel
About 80% of the energy consumed in the United States comes from burning petroleum, natural gas, and coal, with petroleum being the largest contributor followed by natural gas and then coal. Renewable energy sources like wind and solar are steadily increasing their share of the energy mix.
Petroleum contains chemical energy that is released when it is burned to produce heat and power. This energy comes from the carbon and hydrogen molecules present in petroleum.
Potential energy is obtained from petroleum as a stored energy source. When petroleum is burned, the chemical potential energy stored within it is converted into heat energy that can be used to generate electricity or power vehicles.
Petroleum is considered a non-renewable energy because it is a fossil fuel.
The energy from the petroleum is only accessable when the fuel is burnt, if the petroleum itself doesn't undergo burning the energy isn't released. So the energy is called 'stored' or 'potential' energy.
Petroleum
The energy in petroleum and coal is stored as chemical energy. This energy is released when these substances are burned, producing heat and other forms of energy.
