Yes,it is a compound made from oil.

Answer:

"Gas" can refer to gasoline ( a liquid petroleum fuel), fuel gas (a gaseous fuel composed of methane, ethane, propane or butane in various concentrations) or a gas (any material which is not a liquid or solid).

  • Gasoline can either be recovered directly from oil or natural gas wells.It can also be manufactured from petroleum by distillation, or by cracking and reforming of heavy or lighter oil fractions
  • Fuel gas can be recovered from gas wells, recovered from oil wells or manufactured from oil fractions by cracking of heavier components. It can also be made from the anaerobic digestion of organic material.
  • Gases, in general, are not made from petroleum

What are 3 examples of fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels include natural gas, coal, and petroleum. These are generally burned for energy, although most types of plastics are made from petroleum, as well as various other petrochemicals used in everything from cleaners to body care products.In some cases, natural gas, and, more commonly, diesel or gasoline (which are components of petroleum) can be burned in a cylinder to cause a piston to move up and down (this is how cars work). To produce electricity, however, a fossil fuel is usually used to heat steam which then is released at high pressure, causing a turbine to spin. The spinning turbine powers an electric generator.In fossil fuel power stations.i believe gasoline for cars


What is a gas often formed along with oil?

Natural gas. It is mainly methane but contains a mixture of ethane, pentane, propane and butane. In the past it was burned off as it could not be easily transported. These days it is either injected back into the resivoir or made into a liquid and then transported.


Why gas hydrates formed in oil well?

Gas hydrates can form in oil wells when there is a combination of high pressure and low temperature conditions. The presence of water and natural gas in the reservoir can lead to the formation of gas hydrates, which are solid compounds made up of water and gas molecules. These hydrates can clog the wellbore and equipment, posing a risk to production operations.
