Yes and no. They're both hydrocarbons and they come from the same place (well, mineral oil does) : petroleum.

"Gas" (gasoline) has a low molecular weight and is volatile.Oil is heavier and is non-volatile.

Why is natural gas above oil deposit?

Natural gas can be found above oil deposits due to the different densities and migration pathways of these two resources. Oil is lighter and tends to rise up while natural gas, being lighter than oil, can accumulate above it. This occurs when the natural gas is trapped by impermeable rock layers above the oil deposit.
