I Have Oil- How?

[Convict]

For some reason I have 7 oil resource.

However, the issue is that I am yet to research biology.

I was able to steal flight and noticed that I was able to build aircraft. Sure enough the oil resource was available but I can't work out where it has come from.

For clarity:

1. None of my allied City States have oil,
2. I have no trade agreements whereby I receive oil in exchange for anything.

Anyone have any idea how this (the availability of oil) has happened?

Are you absolutely certain that none of your City State allies have oil? I can't think of any other way you would get it unless the game has glitched!!

Ooops. Yes one does- I was an ally of a CS that I wasn't aware of being allied to. May have happened by generation of a Great Person or something.
