Stone Pick
Metal Pick]] [[ Stone Pick Metal Pick | ]]Oil é um recurso de ARK: Survival Evolved. Pode ser adquirido por meio da colheita com uma Pickaxe de pedras escuras perto manchas de óleo no oceano.Ele também pode ser obtido por matar 
Trilobites bem como água acima depósitos de petróleo encontrados e em torno Whitesky Peak. Outra forma de adquirir petróleo é o 
Dung Beetle, que produz petróleo e Fertilizer se Feces são colocados em seu inventário.
Crafting
Oil can be refined in a Refining Forge to create 
Gasoline.
If it is put into a Preserving Bin together with Sparkpowder and Cooked Meat or Cooked Prime Meat, 
Cooked Meat Jerky and 
Prime Meat Jerky can be created.
Oil is also needed to craft the following items:
Fabricator
Grenade
Industrial Grill
Industrial Cooker
Industrial Forge
Silencer Attachment
Spray Painter
Tripwire Alarm Trap
Vault
Re-Fertilizer
Soap
Homing Underwater Mine
Gathering
Oil can be mined with either a Stone Pick or a Metal Pick. The Stone Pick yields 0-1 oil per oil node, while the Metal Pick yields 0-10 oil per oil node.
Besides using tools it is also possible to use a 
Ankylosaurus to mine oil very effectively.

There are 3 main environments where oil nodes spawn: the ocean, Underwater caves and along the beach of the Snow Biome.
Ocean oil mining
Oil nodes can be found all around the map in the oceans. Oil nodes in the ocean are easy to spot as they release a dark stream of oil which floats upwards.
To effectively mine oil nodes in the ocean it's a good idea to tame a underwater dinosaur, such as a powerful 
Megalodon, or a fast and nimble 
Ichthy.
While relatively rare, large clusters of oil nodes can also be found in various ocean floor locations. One such cluster can be found at 10.2 latitude and 25.5 longitude.
Underwater cave oil mining
The highest density of oil nodes can be found in underwater caves, it's possible to get 100's of oil from just 1 underwater cave. To get to the underwater caves it's recommendable to use both a underwater dinosaur and some way to hold your breath for extended periods underwater, such as 
Lazarus Chowder or a 
SCUBA Tank.
It's also possible to get a Ankylosaurus down into most underwater caves. With a Ankylosaurus in the caves they can be cleared in a matter of seconds.
Snow Biome beach mining
If you don't feel confident underwater, it is possible to gather oil above ground. However these above ground oil nodes all spawn in the treacherous Snow Biome and on various icebergs.
A good strategy to gather these oil nodes effectively as a 2 man team, is to use a 
Quetzal and a Ankylosaurus. Simply pick up the Ankylosaurus (with your teammate on it), and fly past all the oil nodes, letting the Ankylosaurus mine them on the fly. The weight stat of the Ankylosaurus doesn't matter as all is carried by the quetzal.
