A naturally occurring, unrefined oil extracted from the earth, characterized by its viscous, thick consistency and often dark brown to black color, serving as the primary raw material for various petroleum products and petrochemical industries.
The raw form of petroleum that has been sourced from underground deposits, typically containing a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons along with small quantities of sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen compounds, which can be further processed through distillation and thermal decomposition to produce refined oil products.
An initially harvested fossil fuel that retains its natural state and properties, recognized by its distinct odor and high viscosity, and is the foundational ingredient in the synthesis of numerous industrial chemicals and energy resources.
