Were do you get crude oil from and how do you extract it?
It comes from underground and we extract it by drilling a hole then by pumping it out of the ground
Where do you get diesel fuel from?
You can buy diesel fuel from a filling station. The filling station gets it from an oil refinery.

How do you get crude oil?
Crude oil is organic remains of plants and animals Buried long ago. The organic material over a long period of time changes to different length of hydrocarbons. Crude oil is unrefined petroleum. The way to get crude oil through drilling. The exploration and finally the drilling process are complex and require investments and skill.
How crude oil is extracted?

Is crude oil compound or mixture?
Crude oil is a mixture of compounds called hydrocarbons. Many useful materials can be produced from crude oil. It can be separated into different fractions using fractional distillation, and some of these can be used as fuels.
