Ingredients

Oil is a resource in ARK: Survival Evolved.

It can be harvested from dark stones near oil patches in the ocean by using a Pickaxe. It can also be obtained from above-water oil deposits found in and around Whitesky Peak on the island, the top left snow mountain on Ragnarok, or by killing Basilosaurus Basilosaurus, Trilobite Trilobite, Leech Leechand Enforcer. Another way to acquire Oil is to tame creatures that produce Oil, such as the Dung Beetle Dung Beetle.

Crafting with Oil

Oil can be refined in a Refining Forge or Industrial Forge to create Gasoline Gasoline.

If it is put into a Preserving Bin together with Sparkpowder and Cooked Meat or Cooked Prime Meat, Cooked Meat Jerky Cooked Meat Jerky and Prime Meat Jerky Prime Meat Jerky can be created.

Oil is also needed to craft the following items:

Producing Oil

Oil can be produced in the following ways:

Gathering Oil

Oil can be mined with either a Stone Pick Stone Pick or a Metal Pick Metal Pick. The Stone Pick Stone Pick yields 0-1 oil per oil node, while the Metal Pick Metal Pick yields 0-10 oil per oil node. Besides using tools it is also possible to use a Ankylosaurus Ankylosaurus or Dunkleosteus Dunkleosteus 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. See the interactive Resource Maps for all occurrences in the official maps as well as some Mod maps.

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 an underwater dinosaur, such as a powerful Megalodon Megalodon, or a fast and nimble Ichthy Ichthy.

A more effective method is to tame a Dunkleosteus Dunkleosteus, which can gather oil nodes by itself while defending against Plesiosaur Plesiosaur.

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, and yields 300-500 oil depending on harvesting method.

Underwater cave oil mining

The highest density of oil nodes can be found in underwater caves, it's possible to get large amounts of oil from just 1 underwater cave. To get to the underwater caves it's recommendable to use both an underwater dinosaur and some way to hold your breath for extended periods underwater, such as Lazarus Chowder Lazarus Chowder or a SCUBA Tank SCUBA Tank.

It's also possible to get an Ankylosaurus Ankylosaurus down into most underwater caves. With an Ankylosaurus 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 Quetzal and a Ankylosaurus Ankylosaurus. Simply pick up the Ankylosaurus Ankylosaurus (with your teammate on it), and fly past all the oil nodes, letting the Ankylosaurus Ankylosaurus mine them on the fly. The weight stat of the Ankylosaurus doesn't matter as all is carried by the quetzal.

Scorched Earth

On the Scorched Earth map, up to 16 Oil can be collected from red Jug Bug Jug Bugs by getting close to them and pressing E, Y, Triangle. Oil can also be gathered autonomously by placing an Oil Pump Oil Pump on an oil vein.

Aberration

Other than the above main method, the only source of oil rocks are found at the surfaces of the map and the deepest depths of the red zone which has huge oil rocks. However, the surface contains many dangers such as Reaper King Reaper King and the accessibility during daytime (the sun will scorch anything during dawn and afternoon) while the red zone contains many rock drakes along with radiation . The other method is killing Trilobite Trilobite near water or by using the Dung Beetle Dung Beetle to get oil via feces.
