Crude oil

Body

Crude oil—also known as petroleum—is an energy-rich liquid consisting mainly of hydrocarbons. In Canada, Alberta's oil sands contain the largest reserves of crude oil, but there are also large deposits off the coast of Atlantic Canada. Crude oil activities include exploration, drilling, production, field processing, and the storage and transportation of oil.
