Without googling GPTing whatever is cool these days answer this in 2 short sentences. ( To the best of your understanding)

From what and how is oil formed and how is it commercially produced/extracted?

A few people might remember I worked in oil gas sector as a logger/geologist for ten odd years and have a geological education.... Anyway... ( Not really a boast big deal, look at me now bad chef/cook surrounded by reindeer)

Over the years I've heard the oddest theories as how oil/gas is formed etc etc and how it's sucked off the sea bed in giant hoses... So.

Over to you.

Plants, mostly. On the whole laid down before the dinosaurs even existed, making the term ‘fossil fuel’ surprisingly redundant.

(Apologies for taking this seriously…)
 
It's "collected" from under the sea bed in an un-useful form, then refined to different grades until it becomes useful for different things.

Then we pay more for the less refined, more widely available version at the pump.

According to a video I was laughing at the other day, Satan placed it in the ground to create unrest and warfare amongst the unholy. :cry:

On a serious note, I also did basic geology during my chemistry degree so know the basics and way too much about the latter stages so I won't bore people.

Out of curiosity what sort of answers have you had? obviously not from this forum as we're all too clever init.. (very very very debatable!)
Many sucking up oil with ships off the sea floor, special fishing nets trawling for oil. 2 good ones.

I got in one little fight and the oil companies got scared, and said your moving to your uncle and aunties in iran.
 
It's both formed and extracted by science

Your dj-ing is showing. Try DJMK5 mode.
