"Natural lift" production methods that rely on the natural reservoir pressure to force the oil to the surface are usually sufficient for a while after reservoirs are first tapped. In some reservoirs, such as in the Middle East, the natural pressure is sufficient over a long time. The natural pressure in most reservoirs, however, eventually dissipates. Then the oil must be extracted using "<a href="/wiki/Artificial_lift" title="Artificial lift">artificial lift</a>" means. Over time, these "primary" methods become less effective and "secondary" production methods may be used. A common secondary method is <a href="/wiki/Water_injection_(oil_production)" title="Water injection (oil production)">"waterflood"</a> or injection of water into the reservoir to increase pressure and force the oil to the drilled shaft or "wellbore." Eventually "tertiary" or "enhanced" oil recovery methods may be used to increase the oil's flow characteristics by injecting steam, carbon dioxide and other gases or chemicals into the reservoir. In the United States, primary production methods account for less than 40 percent of the oil produced on a daily basis, secondary methods account for about half, and tertiary recovery the remaining 10 percent. Extracting oil (or "bitumen") from oil/tar sand and oil shale deposits requires mining the sand or shale and heating it in a vessel or retort, or using "in-situ" methods of injecting heated liquids into the deposit and then pumping the liquid back out saturated with oil. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Unconventional_oil_reservoirs">Unconventional oil reservoirs</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Petroleum&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Unconventional oil reservoirs"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Unconventional_oil" class="mw-redirect" title="Unconventional oil">Unconventional oil</a>, <a href="/wiki/Oil_sands" title="Oil sands">Oil sands</a>, <a href="/wiki/Oil_shale_reserves" title="Oil shale reserves">Oil shale reserves</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Unconventional_(oil_and_gas)_reservoir" title="Unconventional (oil and gas) reservoir">Unconventional (oil and gas) reservoir</a></div> <p>Oil-eating bacteria <a href="/wiki/Biodegrade" class="mw-redirect" title="Biodegrade">biodegrade</a> oil that has escaped to the surface. <a href="/wiki/Oil_sands" title="Oil sands">Oil sands</a> are reservoirs of partially biodegraded oil still in the process of escaping and being biodegraded, but they contain so much migrating oil that, although most of it has escaped, vast amounts are still present—more than can be found in conventional oil reservoirs.

The kerogen in the rock can be converted into crude oil using heat and pressure to simulate natural processes. The method has been known for centuries and was patented in 1694 under British Crown Patent No. 330 covering, "A way to extract and make great quantities of pitch, tar, and oil out of a sort of stone." Although oil shales are found in many countries, the United States has the world's largest deposits.<sup id="cite_ref-Lambertson_81-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lambertson-81"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>80<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Classification">Classification</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Petroleum&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Classification"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1251242444"><table class="box-Globalize plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-globalize" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="Globe icon." src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Ambox_globe_content.svg/48px-Ambox_globe_content.svg.png" decoding="async" width="48" height="40" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Ambox_globe_content.svg/73px-Ambox_globe_content.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Ambox_globe_content.svg/97px-Ambox_globe_content.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="350" data-file-height="290" /></span></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">The examples and perspective in this article <b>may not represent a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Countering_systemic_bias" title="Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias">worldwide view</a> of the subject</b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> You may <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Petroleum&action=edit">improve this article</a>, discuss the issue on the <a href="/wiki/Talk:Petroleum" title="Talk:Petroleum">talk page</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_wizard" title="Wikipedia:Article wizard">create a new article</a>, as appropriate.</span> <span class="date-container"><i>(<span class="date">January 2024</span>)</i></span><span class="hide-when-compact"><i> (<small><a href="/wiki/Help:Maintenance_template_removal" title="Help:Maintenance template removal">Learn how and when to remove this message</a></small>)</i></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Benchmark_(crude_oil)" title="Benchmark (crude oil)">Benchmark (crude oil)</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Crudes.PNG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/eb/Crudes.PNG/220px-Crudes.PNG" decoding="async" width="220" height="242" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/eb/Crudes.PNG/330px-Crudes.PNG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/eb/Crudes.PNG/440px-Crudes.PNG 2x" data-file-width="459" data-file-height="504" /></a><figcaption>Some <a href="/wiki/Benchmark_(crude_oil)" title="Benchmark (crude oil)">marker crudes</a> with their <a href="/wiki/Sulfur" title="Sulfur">sulfur</a> content (horizontal) and <a href="/wiki/API_gravity" title="API gravity">API gravity</a> (vertical) and relative production quantity.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="Brent shown as sweeter than WTI, yet most sources claim the opposite.

U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data, which reflect combined production of crude oil and lease condensate, show a rise from 5.6 million barrels per day (bbl/d) in 2011 to 7.5 million bbl/d in 2013, and a record 1.2 million bbl/d increase to 8.7 million bbl/d in 2014. Increasing production of light crude oil in low-permeability or tight resource formations in regions like the Bakken, Permian Basin, and Eagle Ford (often referred to as light tight oil) account for nearly all the net growth in U.S. crude oil production.<br />EIA's latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, issued in May 2015, reflects continued production growth in 2015 and 2016, albeit at a slower pace than in 2013 and 2014, with U.S. crude oil production in 2016 forecast to reach 9.2 million bbl/d. Beyond 2016, the Annual Energy Outlook 2015 (AEO2015) projects further production growth, although its pace and duration remains highly uncertain.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=U.S.+Crude+Oil+Production+Forecast+%E2%80%93+Analysis+of+Crude+Types&rft.place=Washington%2C+DC&rft.pub=U.S.+Energy+Information+Administration&rft.date=2015-05-28&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eia.gov%2Fanalysis%2Fpetroleum%2Fcrudetypes%2Fpdf%2Fcrudetypes.pdf&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3APetroleum" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-oil-194"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-oil_194-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/080213-titan-oil.html">"Titan Has More Oil Than Earth"</a>. <i>Space.com</i>.
