  1. Small animals and plants, which died millions of years ago sank to the floor under the sea.<\/li>\n
  2. Whatever of that dead mixture bacteria could eat, they ate; whatever remained got mixed up with sand and clay etc.; and more sand\/other stuff kept adding on top of it.<\/li>\n
  3. The heat (from earth under the dead matter) and high pressure (from weight of sand\/other stuff) converted the dead matter into black, sticky liquid called crude oil.<\/li>\n
  4. The sand and clay that gathered above the crude oil became a rock over time but with cracks in between.<\/li>\n
  5. The gathered crude oil travelled up through these cracks but could only go up till a certain point; this point is impermeable rock.<\/li>\n
  6. There are plenty of layers above the impermeable rock as well.<\/li>\n
  7. The oil companies that have license to drill (e.g. ExxonMobil) collaborate with companies that provide services such as hydrocarbon location identification, well-construction, geological data (e.g. Halliburton) to find exact locations where oil (and gas on top of oil) could be trapped.<\/li>\n
  8. They use arial & satellite imagery and various other tools to study different areas.<\/li>\n
  9. Special trucks with huge metal plates between front and back wheels hit the metal on earth (to send vibrations) in shortlisted areas.<\/li>\n
  10. If there is oil under a surface, the vibrations get reflected in a different sort of way and these get recorded and interpreted using computers.<\/li>\n
  11. Then drilling starts and crude oil is extracted and transported through rail cars, trucks, tanker vessels, and through pipelines to oil refineries.<\/li>\n
  12. Oil refineries receive crude oil supplies from different locations, both local and international.<\/li>\n
  13. Crude oil is heated and different fuels such as petrol, diesel and jet fuel are extracted from it.<\/li>\n
  14. Then refinery valves are opened and fuels are sent through underground pipelines to local terminals.<\/li>\n
  15. From there, it is transferred in tankers to huge reservoirs at petrol stations, where we get our petrol from.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
