In the ocean, keeps an eye out for dark flows floating up from the deep sea. You can also find nodes on the ocean floor. Because of the ocean’s inherent dangers (AKA Sharks all over) it’s much easier to mine with the help of a Megalodon, Ichthy, or Dunkleosteus. You can also find nodes above water in Whitesky Peak.

Oil can be obtained by harvesting the Oil deposits found Underwater, or by Killing Basilosaurus, Leeches, and Trilobites. On Scorched earth, Collect oil by Pressing (E) Onto A oil jug bug, or finding an Oil Vein.
 
Additionally, you can find abundant oil resources that you can utilize for producing gasoline. Moreover, there is Metal Nodes, Obsidian, and Red Crystallized Sap to be found within the Red Zone.
