There are many steps to natural oil extraction. The first is location of a oil field using seismic surveys. Once the source is found drilling takes place. Primary recovery refers to when oil is struck and there is enough pressure that the oil just flows out. Over time, this pressure is reduced, and secondary recovery, i.e. active recovery of the oil takes place.

What is crude extraction?
Oil is produced or extracted from underground reservoirs as explained in the first link. So extraction of oil is the same as the removal of oil from its reservoir. Some oil is not easy to produce. For oil sands (see related link) there are a number of extraction techniques to get the oil from the underground reservoir to the surface.
What does extract natural resources means?
Extraction of natural resources can involve mining as in the mining of mineral resoucres or oil sand material as is the case with the Alberta Oilsand mining operations in Fort MacMurray Alberta Canada.
What is the process for natural gas extraction?
The process for extracting natural gas is hydraulic fracturing also referred to as "fracking". In this process rock is drilled in to deep enough to hit the natural gases, and pump them for extraction.

What are the three steps in the process of seeing?
The three steps in the process of seeing are: 1) Light enters the eye through the cornea and passes through the pupil, 2) The lens focuses the light onto the retina at the back of the eye, 3) The retina converts the light into electrical impulses that are sent to the brain via the optic nerve for processing.

What is a oil cake?
Oil cakes are formed from remains of oil seeds after the extraction of oil by oil mills.
Why is high pressure an important part of the oil extraction process?
High pressure is an important part of the oil extraction process because it squeezes the oil out of places that are hard to access.
