Crude oil is oil as it comes out of the ground. it generally contains many different weights of oil compounds, sulphur, water and sediment. Crude ranges from heavy (lots of long chain molecules) to light (short chains) and sour (lots of sulphur) to sweet (little sulphur). Artificial crude many be made from very heavy oils or recovered from the liquids associated with natural gas production.
