Answer:

Explanation:

Petroleum is found in porous rocks formed in the upper strata of some areas of the earth's crust, called reservoirs. Within these reservoirs there are 3 layers- of water, oil and gas. As hydrocarbons are lighter than water, they tend to move upward. From here the liquid can be drilled out.
