There are two main types of oil. Organic oils are derived from from plants and other types of organic matter, such as [[olive]]s. Mineral oils, such as [[petroleum]], are obtained from geological sources.  The latter is not formed by decayed matter, as that contradicts the Creationist worldview, but instead during a ''[[theobaric]]'' process. This oil existed in pristine state before the Flood, and moved during the Flood into the reservoirs where Noah emerged from the Ark, and where we now find it.<ref>[http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/arj/v1/n1/origin-of-oil Origin of Oil], Answers in Genesis</ref>  Consequently much of the oil is found in the Middle East, in addition to massive deposits in Canada<ref>http://www.rense.com/general37/petrol.htm</ref> and Venezuela<ref>http://www.opec.org/opec_web/en/data_graphs/330.htm</ref>.
