FORMATION
When the sea organisms die, their bodies sink to the bottom of the sea. With time, they get covered by the layers of sand and clay.
When the sea organisms die, their bodies sink to the bottom of the sea. With time, they get covered by the layers of sand and clay.Over millions of years, these remains get transformed in petroleum and natural gas due to high temperature, high pressure, and absence of air.
More information
First Oil Well in the World was drilled in Pennsylvania, USA in 1859.
Second Oil Well in the World was drilled in Makum, Assam, India in 1867 (after eight years).
In India, the oil is found in:
Assam,
Gujarat,
Mumbai High, and River basins of Godavari and Krishna.
Refining of Petroleum
Originally, petroleum is a mixture of many things, such as petrol, diesel, petroleum fas, paraffin wax, lubricating oil etc.
It is a dark and oily liquid with an unpleasant odour.
Refining of petroleum is the process by which different constituents of petroleum are separated.
This process takes place in a petroleum refinery.
Why Petroleum is called ‘black gold?
Petroleum is called 'black god' because it yields several substances that are commercially successful. The useful substances obtained from petroleum and natural gas are called 'petrochemicals'.
Petrochemicals are used in manufacturing:
Synthetic fibres (such as Polyester, Nylon, Acrylic etc.),
Detergents,
Polythene, and
Man-made plastics.

formation of petroleum?
⟶ the organisms which live under the sea die eventually falling off the very edge of the ocean...
⟶ with time they get completely covered by the underground sands and other materials of the ocean...
⟶ Now, as I said, they get covered, for like millions of years, and eventually, also turn into "petroleum" ... also due to the high temperature and also the high pressure ...
⟶ they are often called as crude oil...
⟶ As u know, we, Humans, need petroleum for "charging" our vehicles, for eg:- bikes, motorcycles and especially cars...
⟶ Hence, we drill down and down to get the petroleum ... As I said, for charging ( mainly for this ) our vehicles, perhaps, mostly the regurarly used ones ...
-------------------------------------------------
now letz learn how we refine them...
⟶ The first part of refining crude oil is to heat it until it boils.
The boiling liquid is separated into different liquids and gases in a distillation column.
⟶ These liquids are used to make petrol, paraffin, diesel fuel etc.
⟶ Crude oil is a mixture of different chemical called hydrocarbons.
