A mixture of liquid hydrocarbons. Prices vary with grade and density.... more on: Crude Oil

A mixture of hydrocarbons that exists in liquid phase in natural underground reservoirs and remains liquid at atmospheric pressure after passing through surface separating facilities. For FRS reporting, volumes reported as crude include: … Liquids technically defined as crude oil. … Small amounts of hydrocarbons that exist in the gaseous phase in natural underground reservoirs but are liquid at atmospheric pressure after being recovered from oil well (casinghead) gas in lease separators and are commingled with the crude stream without being separately measured. … Small amounts of nonhydrocarbons produced with the oil. Statistical data pertaining to crude oil production and reserves are reported as liquid equivalents at the surface (excluding base sediment and water) measured in terms of stock tank barrels of 42 U.S. gallons at atmospheric pressure, corrected to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Where a state regulatory agency specifies a definition of crude oil which differs from that set forth above for statistical purposes, the state definition takes precedence.

is the oil that is produced from a reservoir after any associated gas has been removed.

The oil or fat obtained from the initial extraction of a vegetable or an animal source.

crude oil is petroleum direct from the ground, prior to refinement or processing.

a dark oil consisting mainly of hydrocarbons

the form in which oil is initially extracted which is a mixture of hydrocarbons with some oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur impurities; a fossil fuel.

Oil that has been produced from a reservoir.

Naturally occurring petroleum, before any refining or treatment.

a mixture of thousands of chemicals and compounds, primarily hydrocarbons. Crude oil must be broken down into its various components by distillation before these chemicals and compounds can be used as fuels or converted to more valuable products. Crude oil is classified as either "sweet crude" (sulfur content less than 0.5 percent) or "sour crude," (at least 2.5 percent sulfur). Most of the crude CITGO processes is sour crude, from Venezuela and Mexico.

Crude oil is the mixture of petroleum liquids and gases (including impurities such as sulphur) that is pumped out of the ground by oil wells.

A naturally occurring mixture of liquid hydrocarbons as it comes out of the ground (before or after any dissolved gas has been separated from it, but prior to any process of distilling or refining). Greenish crude is usually high in paraffin (wax) content; blackish oil is more likely to be asphaltic. Different types of source rock generate different types of crude oils.

gooey liquid that contains hundreds of different types of hydrocarbons; raw, unprocessed petroleum (i.e. oil in its natural unprocessed state). It is refined or separated into petroleum gas, kerosene, diesel, fuel oil, bunker oil, etc. (back)

petroleum in its natural state prior to any refining process. Main elements are hydrogen and carbon.

Crude coconut oil is the basic industrial grade oil processed from copra (dried coconut meat) by expeller press and solvent extraction. Without refinement, its shelf life is lower and colour/odour render it unsuitable for use in cosmetics or food.

Liquid petroleum as it comes out of the ground as distinguished from refined oils manufactured out of it.

A mixture of hydrocarbons that exists as a liquid in natural underground reservoirs and remains liquid at atmospheric pressure after passing through surface separating facilities. Crude is the raw material which is refined into gasoline, heating oil, jet fuel, propane, petrochemicals, and other products.

a liquid mixture of many substances, mostly hydrocarbons.

Crude oil is the naturally occurring rock oil which accumulates in underground fields. It is a fossil fuel consisting of a complex mixture of various hydrocarbons.

A naturally occurring, oily, flammable liquid composed principally of hydrocarbons. Crude oil is occasionally found in springs or pools but usually is drilled from wells beneath the earth's surface.

A mixture of hydrocarbons occurring naturally in underground deposits; the basic feedstock for petroleum refineries.

oil which has not undergone any refining. Crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons with small quantities of other chemicals such as sulphur, nitrogen and oxygen.

A mixture of hydrocarbons that exist in liquid phase in underground reservoirs and remain liquid at atmospheric pressure after passing through surface separating facilities. See petroleum.

A mineral oil consisting of a mixture of hydrocarbons of natural origin, yellow to black in colour, of variable specific gravity and viscosity

Oil removed from the ground before it is processed.

A mixture of hydrocarbons naturally existing as a liquid in underground reservoirs that remains a liquid at atmospheric pressure. Crude oil is the raw material which is refined into gasoline, heating oil, jet fuel, propane, petrochemicals, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and other products.

Unrefined petroleum as it is extracted from the ground; it is liquid at normal ambient temperatures.

Petroleum as found in the earth, before it is refined into oil products. Also called CRUDE. A mixture of hydrocarbons that existed in liquid phase in underground reservoirs and remains liquid at atmospheric pressure after passing through surface separating facilities.

A mixture of hydrocarbons that exists in liquid phase in underground reservoirs and remains liquid at atmospheric pressure after passing through surface separating facilities. Included are lease condensate and liquid hydrocarbons produced from tar sands, gilsonite, and oil shale. Drip gases are also included, but topped crude oil (residual oil) and other unfinished oils are excluded. Where identifiable, liquids produced at natural gas processing plants and mixed with crude oil are likewise excluded.

Gooey liquid consisting mostly of hydrocarbon compounds and small amounts of compounds containing oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen. Extracted from underground accumulations, it is sent to oil refineries, where it is converted to heating oil, diesel fuel, gasoline, tar, and other materials.

Oil that is pumped out of the ground and has not been refined in any way.

n: unrefined liquid petroleum. It ranges in gravity from 9°API to 55°API and in color from yellow to black.

Crude oil is formed from the remains of small animals and plants that died and fell to the bottom of the sea. Their remains were covered by mud. As the sediment was buried by more sediment, it started to change into rock as the temperature and pressure increased. The plant animal remains were "cooked" by this process and changed into crude oil. Useful products from oil

The basic raw mineral pumped from the earth. There are many different grades of crude, each containing various vapors, liquids and solids. This crude is changed at a refinery into products.

Liquid petroleum as it comes out of the ground. Crude oils range from very light (high in gasoline) to very heavy (high in residual oils). Sour crude is high in sulfur content. Sweet crude is low in sulfur and therefore often more valuable.

Unrefined liquid petroleum. It ranges in gravity from 9 to 55 °API and in colour from yellow to black, and it may have a paraffin, asphalt or mixed base. If a crude oil, or crude, contains a sizable amount of sulphur or sulphur compounds, it is called sour crude; if it has little or no sulphur, it is a sweet crude. In addition, crude oils may be referred to as heavy or light according to API gravity, the lighter oils having the higher gravities.

The oil product obtained from the initial extraction, crushing or expelling of an animal or vegetable source.

unrefined petroleum in its natural form when taken from the ground. Crude oil is the basis for gasoline, engine oil, diesel oil, kerosene and other petroleum-based products.

Naturally occurring liquid petroleum.

Petroleum in its raw state as it emerges from the ground with only minor processing to remove associated natural gas and gas liquids. This processing is usually done at or near the production site. Some synthetic oils that are produced from tar sands, extra heavy oils, or types of shale are refined like crude oil. Condensates are also very similar to crude oil, but usually lighter, and they are often refined like them.
