If we assume that petroleum was created from decaying plants, the ultimate energy source is the Sun's energy.

Is petroleum a energy or a energy souces?

It is a source of energy. Meaning that we can drill for it and then we have it, we don't have to create it. On the other hand hydrogen fuel has energy, but it isn't a source of energy because we can't simply drill for it, instead we have to create it. So while oil is a source of energy, other energy storing compounds like hydrogen fuel are not fuel sources.
