Petroleum
Petroleum is a naturally occurring, yellow-to-black liquid found in geological formations beneath the Earth's surface.
It is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily composed of alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatic compounds. Petroleum is extracted from the ground through drilling and then refined to produce various products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, asphalt, and plastics.
