Petroleum comes from oil fields, which exist both on land and offshore. Generally, these are called reservoirs or oil deposits. If you are asking about the origins of petroleum, then petroleum comes from deposited organic material (plant and animal), generally deposited more than 10 millions years ago. The transformation of deposited organic material into oil, requires the sufficient organic material, millions of years of time, confinement and sufficient temperature. Something like making a cake, you need a container, the ingredients, and the right temperature applied for a certain amount of time. Except with oil, we talk about millions of years instead of hours.

Do petrochemicals come from coal?
Petrochemicals are primarily derived from petroleum, which is a type of fossil fuel. While some petrochemicals can be derived from coal through coal gasification and coal-to-chemical processes, the majority come from crude oil.
How did petroleum and natural gases come form?
Petroleum and natural gas are formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient marine organisms such as phytoplankton and zooplankton that were buried and subjected to heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust. This process transforms the organic material into fossil fuels.
Will petroleum sources of energy ever come to an end?
Yes, petroleum sources of energy are finite and will eventually run out. However, estimates of when this will happen vary. As renewable energy sources become more prevalent and technology advances, the need for petroleum may decrease.
Where does the energy of petroleum come from?
The energy in petroleum comes from organic matter, such as phytoplankton and algae, that lived millions of years ago. Over time, this organic matter was buried and subjected to heat and pressure, resulting in the formation of petroleum. When we burn petroleum, the stored energy is released as heat and light energy.
Where does the rubber in erasers come from?
The rubber in erasers comes from a variety of places depending on the eraser. It can either come from plants such as the rubber plant or it can come as a petroleum byproduct.
Are products made from petroleum called hydrocarbons?
No, products made from petroleum are generally referred to as petrochemicals, not hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are organic compounds made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms, which are typically found in petroleum and natural gas.
What is the mixture called when crude oil and petroleum come straight from the ground?
"Petroleum" products are distilled from crude oil, so what comes out of the ground is crude oil.
