Crude Oil is a liquid product. It can be obtained by building Template:Inficon on your island, or imported on cargo ships through either Oil Rigs or trade deals.
In the beginning, Crude Oil can only be refined using a {infoicon!Basic Distiller}}.
After Advanced Diesel is researched, Distillation (Stage I) [Stage II] can be built. This method of processing oil is entirely superior, producing more Diesel, using less energy, producing less overall pollution, and creating waste products that are easier to refine into useful substances through a Sour Water Stripper.
Large quantities of Crude Oil will be needed throughout the game. Since the home island New Haven offers only 80,000 units, spread between two deposits, one of which is less than ideally accessible, planning for repairing and importing via Cargo Ship should be part of your mid-game planning.
