It is a kind of fossil fuel as it is formed from the organic remains of decomposed material and is taken straight out of ground. Crude oil are either light (light coloured liquid) or heavy (solid black colour). It is also categorised into sweet and sour depending upon the quantity of sulphur it contains.

When layers of plants, gases and animals are buried and exposed to high pressure and heat, a fossil fuel is formed which is termed as natural gas. It is a hydrocarbon that contains highest percentage of methane and lower percentages of nitrogen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide.

Cairn India makes use of Mangala development pipeline (MDP) which is an insulated one that transfers the crude oil from the oil basins to the markets. It is world's longest pipeline that starts from central processing terminal and travels through a number of districts of Rajasthan and Gujarat. The pipeline was manufactured with technology specifications taking in account the waxy nature of crude oil. It was ensured that the crude oil remains above the the minimum specified temperature (wax appearance temperature) of 65 degrees celcius in order to maintain mobility throughout its

It is the fifth largest oil-delivering field. Till date, store execution has been in accordance with forecast.
