Crude oil comes from the reservoir as live crude, containing methane and other lower carbon compounds that are liberated as the pressure is reduced (in the reservoir, in the well, in the separator or storage battery) and the crude is allowed to cool. Dead crude is degassed crude meaning no more gas is likely to be liberated. The volumetric measurement of crude is normally done at "standard conditions" of atmospheric pressure and 60 degrees F, although standards vary.

How do companies obtain hydrocarbon?
it all started when crude oil was formed by dead organisms millions of years ago, it was buried under mud and silt. The pressurecompacted it which made a rich mixture a hydrocarbons known as crude oil, this is how they are made.
Is crude oil a mixture?
It is a mixture of hydrocarbons, which can be separated by fractional distillation. Oil is NOT an element.
How long does it take to form Petrol?
Petrol comes from crude oil. When dead organisms are subjected to extremely high pressures for millions of years, the organic compounds in the organisms will transform into hydrocarbons that are present in crude oil. This crude oil is then distilled using fractional distillation to separate different components, such as petrol.
How and when was crude oil formed?
The crude oil we use today was formed millions of years ago but crude oil is still being formed today. More crude oil is formed every time an animal or plant in the sea dies and is squashed by layers of other dead marine life (that turns into rock)over the top. This takes a long time.
Can crude oil be a liquid or a gas?

What is the traditional name for crude oil?
Dead dinasour
Why is crude oil a fossil fuel?
Crude oil, coal and are fossil fuels. They were formed over millions of years. Crude oil and gas were formed from dead marine organisms
Why is there so much carbon in crude oil?
because the dead remains from the animals and plants contained carbon so the crude oil would also be rich in carbon
Why crude oil iscalled fossil fuel?
Crude oil is a fossil fuel because. It was made from the dead bodies of microscope plant and animals that once lived in the sea
What happens to crude oil when it is refined?
the dead plants and animal remains formed billions of years to from crude oil will separate leaving it to turn Into a natural refined molecule,

Why is crude oil full of carbon?
It is because oil is created from dead plant matter, which is a life form based on carbon
Do corn oil and petrol get their energy from the Sun Both corn oil and petrol are sources of energy Petrol comes from crude oil which is formed from the remains of dead organisms Explain?
By the food chain all animals get their energy from eating other animals which eat plants, plants make energy using sunlight therefore the dead animals all got their energy from sunlight, the dead animals became crude oil therefore, crude oil gets its energy from the sun QED
What is Nigeria's position in the world in producing crude oil?
Crude oil is crude..
How are polymers made into crude oil?
Polymers are not made into crude oil. Crude oil is made into polymers.
Is crude oil a mixture?
