Oil and natural gas are carbon by-products and a common name for carbon by-products is petroleum. Oil is formed deep under the surface. Petroleum is formed from organic materials. This organic material comes from the remains of dead organisms. The organic material becomes a part of layers of sedimentary rocks. More layers form on the top of these layers and the organic material changes into petroleum, and is contained into a source rock. This causes the petroleum to turn into oil.
Adjacent seas were covered by shallow oceans. Over a period of millions of years the remains of marine animals and plants fell to the sea floor, they accumulated into thick layers and eventually were covered by layers of sand and silt. Over time, the immense weight of all of these layers compressed the lower layers into sedimentary rock. Bacterial actions, heat, and pressure converted the remains of the animals and plants into oil..... Oil is found under ground.
