= Types of Fluids =
There are many different fluids which can be extracted. The specific fluid depends on the dimension and chunk. [[Oil_Generation|Oil and Natural Gas]] are the only ones present in the overworld and very likely the first to be extracted via a Drilling Rig.
== Oil and Natural Gas==
These fluids are the only ones present in the overworld and very likely the first to be extracted via an Fluid Drilling Rig.
=== Oil ===
Oil is considered an important resource since it can be used to produce a number of fuels. In addition to that many distillates are commonly used for polyethylene, TNT, rubber and much more.
There are 4 different types of oil.
* Oil is commonly used as it provides a good distribution of Light Fuel and Heavy Fuel, as well as Naphta. Oil sprouts have this type.
* Raw Oil is half as efficient as standard oil with the same distribution of destillates.
* Light Oil produces a high portion of Sulfuric Gas which makes this fluid less useful in most cases.
* Heavy Oil distills to a lot of Sulfuric Heavy Fuel.
Below is a table of the oil types and their distillation results.

All Oils also have an additional recipe in the Distillation Tower, producing Naphthenic Acid. Check NEI for specifics.
=== Natural gas ===
Natural Gas first has to be reacted with Hydrogen in a Chemical Reactor to produce Refinery Gas. 1000L Natural gas then distill to
* 60L Butane
* 70L Propane
* 100L Ethane
* 750L Methane
* 20L Helium
Note that Natural Gas can also be cracked directly producing differing distillates.
