extraction geology determination takes into consideration. The researchers goes very close to the surface of the earth and determines the quality of soil formation; strength and type of rocks and the stability of area in order to be sure that no harm comes during drilling. From the geological times crude oil is an unprocessed and are found underground made up of dead remains of plants and animals. The final extractions of oil are refined and are used mostly in the formation of petroleum gas‚ plastic
