How is crude oil transported to the refinery?

Answer 1

There are many different/possible ways depending on many factors such as where the source [well] is located in relation to the refinery. Based on that I will give some ideas which I can recall at the moment. 1. By a tank truck from the well site to the refinery. 2. By gathering piplines from several wells, to a larger pipeline to a refinery. 3. By truck and/or pipline to a tanker ship to a refinery.

Answer 2

"Crude oil" is what oil companies call oil that is being pumped out of the ground, before they have done anything to it. So crude oil is the raw material that gasoline, plastics, asphalt and many other things come from.

The process where the crude oil is distilled into different hydrocarbons (Petrol, Diesel, Keresine, etc) is called cracking.

Answer 3

It is heated through a furnace which is connected to a large tube. The different hydrocarbons in the Crude Oil will condense at different temeratures. The distilling tube is made so that there are different sections for the different temperatures that the crude oil will condense at. It then catches each different hydrocarbon.

Answer 4

Crude Oil is refined by 1) encouraging conservation and efficiency and 2) switching to cleaner and renewable energy sources.
