I THINK petroleum
You're thinking on the right track, but in reverse. Petroleum is a product made from crude oil, not the other way around. Crude oil is made from extinct biomass, that is plants and animals that lived millions of years ago, subjected to underground pressure over a long period of time until the oil is all that is left of them.

How are oil sands formed?
Oil sands are formed from a mixture of sand, water, clay, and bitumen - a heavy oil. Over millions of years, organic material decays and the bitumen collects in sand and silt deposits, creating oil sands. Heat and pressure further transform the bitumen into crude oil.
