Where does petroleum crude oil come from

and where is petroleum crude oil found in?

Petroleum crude oil comes from and is found in sedimentary rocks

such as shale, sandstone, limestone and dolostone. Sedimentary

rocks are layered rocks that are made from the consolidation of

sediments that have been eroded from other rocks and minerals.

Shale and sandstone are clastic sedimentary rocks

which are rocks made from mud and quartz fragments.

Limestone and dolostone are carbonate sedimentary

rocks which are rocks made from calcite and dolomite.

Learn how petroleum crude oil comes out from these

sedimentary rocks with an educational set of oil rocks.

Each set comes with an oil shale, an oil sandstone, an

oil limestone, an oil dolostone and an information sheet.
