I may not understand your question. All rock oil (petroleum), the kind of oil pumped out of the ground from which gasoline and kerosene are made, is inorganic. However, there are many useful organic oils, pressed from the seeds or fruits of plants, such as olive oil, soybean oil,cottonseed oil, linseed oil, canola oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, safflower oil, castor oil and others.
