Benzene is a natural part of crude oil along with hundreds of other chemicals. Benzene forms about 1% or less of crude oil. In the oil "cracking process" and related processing at the refinery various parts of chemicals from the crude oil can be recombined to form additional benzene.

How much benzene is in crude oil?
Lots
How is ethylbenzene made?
It can be found naturally occurring in crude oil but is usually manufactured in large amounts when benzene and ethylene are combined in an acid-catylized chemical reaction.
Where do Benzene and Toluene come from?
crude
What is the major constituents of crude oil?
Alkanes (including octane, nonane etc), Naphthalene, Benzene, CO2 and H2S etc
Is anthracene soluble in water?
Anthracene is a colorless crystalline aromatic hydrocarbon obtained by the distillation of crude oils. It is soluble in benzene, which is given as 0.083 M.

How can you make monomer molecules unsaturated?
That depends what the monomer is. Most unsaturated monomers are manufactured commercially from crude oil. Ethene, for instance, is made by cracking the gas oil fraction of crude oil. Vinyl chloride is then made from ethene. Styrene is made from benzene and ethene.
Is thermoplastic manufactured from crude oil?
no.
How is benzene commercially obtained?
Benzene is an organic compound that is commercially obtained from the extraction of crude oil. It is identified as a potential carcinogen.
Where do Benzene and Toluene come from?
crude
What are the two main sources of alkanes?
Petroleum. For details about the chemistry you might wish to consult the benzene page on wikipedia.

What has the author F Laverne Miller written?
F. Laverne Miller has written: 'Displacement of crude oil and benzene from silica by aqueous solutions ..' -- subject(s): Benzene, Petroleum, Silica, Solution (Chemistry)
What does England export to Canada?
The largest exports from the United Kingdom to Canada are crude oil and manufactured goods.
Is anthracene soluble in water?
Anthracene is a colorless crystalline aromatic hydrocarbon obtained by the distillation of crude oils. It is soluble in benzene, which is given as 0.083 M.
Does acetone dissolve crude oil like the sludge in the Gulf?
Crude oil has stuff like benzene, toluene, heptane and Octane in it. all those things are non-polar. polar and non-polar substances don't mix, like water (polar) and oil (non-polar). acetone is polar, but also non-polar due to its two methyl groups. So, yes. Acetone does dissolve crude oil.
