Explanation:
Crude oil and natural gas occur in 'pockets' under the ground. ... Like other deposits, they are extracted by drilling a hole down through the rocks into the oil or gas. For undersea deposits, the drills are mounted on a platform called a drilling rig. The oil or gas is usually pumped ashore through pipelines.

Answer:
Gas and oil form in the sea over a period of millions of years, as the remains of animals and plants sink to the ocean floor. Combined with particles flushed from the land, they are buried and compressed into layers of sediment several kilometres thick on the ocean floor.
