Oil Vein is a vital resource node that you can find in the Ark Crystal Isles. Oil Veins are the best source of collecting a lot of Oil in the game. You can place an Oil Pump on top to extract 1 unit of Oil every 20 seconds.
Finding an oil vein is not difficult, but you might face some dangerous creatures while looking for them. This guide will review the five best locations to find oil veins in Ark Crystal Isles. Additionally, we will also cover its best uses.

This area is located in the northern region of the map, right close to the Redwood. Here you will find four Oil veins pretty close to each other and a lot of Oil Rocks.
Oil Vein Location #2
- LAT: 31
- LON: 36
These coordinates will take you to the entrance of a Honey Bee cave. After entering it, move a little forward and then dive underwater. Go towards 31.4 LAT and 25.4 LON, and you will find many Oil Veins underwater.
Oil Vein Location #3

You will find an Oil vein at the coordinates above, and to find four more, you can head towards the 30 Latitude and 59 Longitude. You must explore the area between these coordinates to find all the Oil Veins.
Oil Vein Location #5

Oil Spawn Command
If you’re having trouble finding Oil in Ark: Crystal Isles, you can use spawn commands to have this item spawn in your inventory. To do this, you must open the cheat console by pressing the TAB key on your keyboard.
If you’re playing on PlayStation, you’ll need to hold down L1, R1, Square, and Triangle at once, and similarly, on Xbox, hold down, LB, RB, X, and Y at once. Once the console opens, simply type in: “cheat gfi Oil 1 0 0” and hit enter to add this resource directly to your inventory.
If you encounter a situation where the command does not work, try resetting your system or game or try using this command instead: “cheat giveitem “Blueprint’/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Oil.PrimalItemResource_Oil'” 1 0 0”
