Crude oil is feedstock for just about everything under the sun. When crude oil is refined, its various chemical parts are separated and some become gasoline, some lubricants, some asphalt, and others the raw materials for plastics and rubber and many more things. Here are some examples of what can be obtained from petroleum (crude oil, natural gas, and/or viscous or solid forms): Fuels - like gasoline, diesel, propane (many people use propane to heat their homes), heating oil Heavy bottoms - like asphalt, bitumen, tar Petrochemicals - used as a feedstock for many everyday products: * plastic gadgets, tools, bags, toys * candles * clothing (polyester, nylon) * hand lotions * petroleum jelly * perfume * dishwashing liquids * ink * bubble gums * car tires * ammonia * heart valves * and many more ---- Crude oil is refined and used to make all these products: * Ethane and other short-chain alkanes which are used as fuel * Diesel * Fuel oils * Petrol * Jet fuel * Kerosene * Liquid petroleum gas (LPG) * Natural gas * Alkenes (olefins) which can be manufactured into plastics or other compounds * Lubricants (produces light machine oils, motor oils, and greases, adding viscosity stabilizers as required). * Wax, used in the packaging of frozen foods, among others. * Sulfur or Sulfuric acid. These are a useful industrial materials. Sulfuric acid is usually prepared as the acid precursor oleum, a byproduct of sulfur removal from fuels. * Bulk tar. * Asphalt * Petroleum coke, used in speciality carbon products or as solid fuel. * Paraffin wax * Aromatic petrochemicals to be used as precursors in other chemical production.

be thankful you didnt see the last answer. you would have fainted.
LPG, petrol, kerosene, diesel, butane, propane, naphtha, bitumen and paraffin wax are the initial products from the first separation of crude oil.
Gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel. These are all mixtures. If the questioner means pure chemical substances, hexane. dodecane, and eicosane would be examples.
Examples: petrol, diesel, mineral oil, white spirit, coke, paraffin, etc.
Any type of plastic can be made in petrochemistry.
small marine organisms :D
petrol, diesel, kerosene, etc......
Gasoline, oil, tar, plastics.
gasoline petrol and pest spray
Eventually, crude oil will run out. Other sources will need to be discovered to replace crude oil and the many products produced.
Regarding Crude Oil or Refined Products? NWE is North West Europe, and Platts is a pricing agency that defines contracts for crude oil and refined products. Eg. Platts NWE Fuel Oil is the price of the Platts fuel oil futures contract at the Rotterdam NWE delivery point.
Polymers are not made into crude oil. Crude oil is made into polymers.
Yup! Crude Oil -> Crude Oil Vapour --> Diesel Oil --> Ethene --> Poly(ethene)
Crude oil is obtained by drilling down into the ground to an oil well. The oil is then pumped out of the ground and put into barrels. The barrels of oil are then sent to a plant where it is processed into different products for consumer use.
Yes mineral oil is derived from crude oil. ---- No. Mineral oil is another term for vegetable oil, which is derived from the natural oils of plants, not crude.
Bio-pesticides are derived as residual bi-products after fermentation of the jatropha crude oil for biodiesel production
No because soyabean oil is derived from soyabeans while crude oil is derived from fossil fuels.
No, crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons as they are found in the earth. Gasoline is one of the many products derived from crude oil through catalytic cracking, distillation and so on. It contains mostly heptane and octane.
It is derived from crude oil.
yes using phenol, a compound that is derived from crude oil.
Many plastics are derived from crude oil.
Yes, well sort of. Petroleum jelly is derived from oil, as you can read about in the attached link. Lipstick is made of many products that are derived from plants. Carnuba wax comes from palms. See links.
Because Australian crude is not suitable for some of the products that come from crude oil.
"Petroleum" products are distilled from crude oil, so what comes out of the ground is crude oil.
