What things are made from crude oil?

Crude oil is mixture of many compounds. Most of the compounds are composed of hydrogen and carbon, so they are called hydrocarbons. Oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and various trace metals also can be found in crude oil. When there is significant concentrations of sulfur, the crude is considered sour crude. See links.

How is petrol made?

from crude oil. it is refined in many gradesCrude oil is the starting raw material, the thick black fluid the get from oil rigs. This is then distilled, which means that it is heated in a controlled way to separate out all of the constituents. In the distillation tower, the different products come out at different stages. The tar comes out near the bottom, then aviation fuel, then diesel nearer to the top then petrol (or gasoline as some would have it), then the lightest products right at the top of the tower such as propane.this is not a practical perform answer. if we take a crude oil and saprated it composition till the reaching of composition of petrolium , if we reach the composition of then we can make the petrol by using the crude oil as raw material.

What is the difference between petroleum engineering and oil and gas engineering?

I think petroleum engineering has to do with the discovery of crude oil[hydrocarbons] in it's dark,sticky,viscous stage and lifting it to the surface and passing it to the refineries for the extraction of other components viz petroleum gases,petrol,kerosene . While gas and oil engineering has to do with reserving,distribution of refined oil and gas from crude oil to depots. Ismail Sani Ali.

How is crude made into products?

Crude oil contains mixture of various types of hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons are separated by fractional distillation. Different hydrocarbons have different boiling points and therefore after crude oil is heated, shorter chains of hydrocarbons which have lower boiling point will become gas and can be easily separated one by one from hydrocarbons with shorter chains to longer chains. The brief products are Petroleum Gas, Gasoline, Kerosone, Heating Oil, Lubricating Oil and Bitumen in order of increasing molecular size.
