petroleum is really just a bunch of hydrocarbons. From here, let's consider an ideal scenario in which we have a bunch of hydrocarbons and oxygen in our system. Fire in and of itself is really just "glowing gas" and, for the purposes of this discussion, represents a huge energy input into the reaction which speeds up the process. This is to say that oil "catching fire" is really just a quicker and more spectacular version of the same controlled combustion reaction taking place in our cars and other petroleum-fueled machines
