A mixture of organic compounds composed mainly of hydrogen and carbon and found in the gaseous, liquid, or solid state in the Earth; includes hydrocarbon gases, bitumen, migrated oil, pyrobitumen, and their refined products, but not kerogen. In European usage, the term is sometimes restricted to refined products only.[1]
