The natural resource primarily associated with oil production is crude oil. This fossil fuel, formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms over millions of years, is extracted from the earth through drilling. Crude oil is a vital energy source, used globally to produce gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, heating oil, and various petrochemicals. The oil industry plays a significant economic role, influencing global markets and geopolitics. However, oil extraction and consumption also raise environmental concerns, including greenhouse gas emissions and the risk of oil spills, prompting a shift toward renewable energy sources.
