No, crude oil is a non-renewable resource, that means that when it is all pumped out of the ground no more will appear.

Nonrenewable because you cannot reuse it once used.
Why is crude oil a non-renewable energy?
When we say 'renewable', what we really mean is that the energy source is replenishing at least as fast as it is being used. Since the sun is always shining, it is renewable. Crude oil, and other fossil fuels, replenish very slowly - on the scale of millions of years.

Is petroleum a non renewable or a renewable resource?
Petroleum is a non-renewable resource. It is a fossil fuel and so a non-renewable source. Petroleum is refined from crude oil, which has been formed over thousands of years. So petroleum is NOT renewable.
Why cant you renew a nonrenewable resource?
A non-renewable source is a product of the Earth that we use as an energy source (such as crude oil). We find these particular non-renewable sources from under the groun and in the sea, where we extract it and sell it as energy. Eventually, these resources will run out, as we are extracting at a faster pace than crude oil generates (crude oil is made from decomposed animals and plants over millions of years). This is why we are trying to use renewable sources such as wind energy. The wind will never 'run out'.
