Used in vehicles “ Nodal Industry’ for synthetic textiles,fertilisers and numerous chemical industries. Cooking Medium Used in cosmetics
Formation - Petroleum formed due to compression of animals or human beings over million years under great heat and pressure.(Fat turned into oil). Ex- On-shore (Animals/Human Beings) Off-Shore(Marine creatures)
Occurrences with Anticlines and Synclines
Occurences Petroleum found in sedimentary rocks. Petroleum occurred in India in association with Anticlines and fault traps in the rock formation of tertiary age. It occurs where oil is trapped in crest of upfold . The oil bearing layer is a porous limestone or sandstone through which rising or sinking by intervening non-porous layer. Thus,oil found in traps b/w porous and non-porous rocks.Gas being lighter usually occured above the oil.
