Oil is a fluid

Oil is a liquid. It sounds stupid like that, yet it is an undeniable quality: more practical to extract, transport, storage and use, as opposed to a solid. A liquid is more convenient than a gas, particularly in regard to the problem of leakage and the behavior at room temperature. We can transfer it easily. Of course, these benefits are not unique to oil, they are valid for any energy carrier liquid.
