Oil-eating animal; possible?

I saw a movie where oil companies stumbled upon these fictional underground aquatic deep-sea animals that survived on eating and digesting the oil where they lived. They had squid/octopus-like bodies and were as smart (possibly smarter) than dolphins or apes (not us, though).

Is it possible for an animal to survive and develop the ability to eat oil in these conditions?
