Why is Crude Oil of little use without refining?
Short Answer:Without refining crude oil it is just a thick goop. It also has some very bad things it it, such as: sulphur, H2S, wax, just to name a few. It has to be refined and certain additives added depending on its intended use. Refining takes out most of the bad things, and adds things that make it useful to us. Also refining lets us by a "cracking" process, make fuels from the crude oil, such as gas, diesel and jet fuel. We also make medicines from certain products taken from the crude, like the sulphur.Long Answer: It isn't that crude oil is of no use without refining; it is more that it is just much more useful with refining. When the oil industry began raw crude oil was used as fuel in factories; however, it was quickly realized that it could be put to much better use if it was separated into components of similar boiling points via distillation. The composition of crude oil varies widely depending on where the original oil field was located. For instance crude oil today is often traded using West Texas Intermediate (WTI) also known as Texas Light Sweet, as a standard with which to compare other crude oils.The refining of crude oil yields many types of fuel. Roadway gasoline is one of the lighter fractions from the distillation process. No. 1 Fuel oil is similar to kerosene and is used as jet fuel. No. 2 is diesel fuel for larger roadway vehicles. Nos. 3-6 are used for larger industrial uses such as for large freight trains and container ships and are much more dense and viscous than either roadway gasoline or diesel fuel. Often intermediate number fuel oils are the result of blending light and heavy fuel oils in various amounts until certain specifications are reached. Each engine is designed specifically to run on a certain type of fuel, and is generally incompatible with other types.As mentioned above there are many impurities in crude oil, including saltwater. The first step in the refining process is to remove the salt (sodium, magnesium, and potassium chlorides) from the oil in a desalter. Improper removal of the salt will result in severe problems later in the refining process. Combustion of raw crude oil without the salt removed would likely result in severe engine damage/corrosion.Hydrogen sulfide is also present in many oil fields and must be removed before use. Unremoved hydrogen sulfide will become sulfur dioxide when burned, producing acid rain. Hydrogen sulfide is removed initially from the crude oil by injecting large amounts of steam into the large crude distillation column, as well as side distillation columns known as strippers. This causes the H2S to travel upward in the distillation columns along with the lighter gaseous components such as methane, ethane, etc. These lighter components can then be treated in a process known as hydrodesulphurizationMost of the various products we buy are the result of chemicals whose base components are refined from crude oil and natural gas. A small fraction (of around 5%) of the hydrocarbons refined using crude oil result in nearly all of the carbon feedstock for the entire chemical industry (which is itself huge).
Why is diesel often called a distillate?
Diesel fuel is made up of 2 "cuts" of crude oil. One being distillate, and the other diesel. Depending on the time of year (temperature), there is a variation of the percentage of each.
What is an example of nonelectrolyte?
examples are :- 1.glycerin 2.benzene 3.distilled water etc.
How much CO2 produced by burning one barrel of oil?
For the oilMineral oil has a density of around 0.8 g/cm3, "good" crude oil of around 0.8 - 0,83 g/cm3 and "heavy" crude oil is above 0,92 g/cm3Crude oil consists (by weight) of 83% to 87% carbon.One barrel is about 159 liters. Assuming a density of 0,85g/cm3 for our oil we would end up with 135 kg of oil, which contains on the higher end (87% carbon) 118 kg of carbon.For the carbon dioxide:Carbon Standard atomic weight: 12.0107(+/- 0.00008) g·mol−1Oxygen Standard atomic weight: 15.9994(+/- 0.00003) g·mol−1Lets say: Carbon = 12 and 2 x Oxygen = 2 x 16 = 32 => Total: 44(12/44 = 27.27% of Carbon in CO2)---------------------------------Assuming that all the carbon will find its oxygen to form CO2, that would be 433 kg of carbon dioxide.With above assumptions:1 barrel of oil could produce 433 kg of carbon dioxide.(Ignoring all other side products)Sources:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygenhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_oilhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crude_oilhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API_gravity#Classifications_or_grades
How much gasoline is made from a barrel of crude oil?
It varies alot. The minimum value is zero- as some crude oil are refined into other products. So, let's assume this is a crude that is economical to refine into gasoline. In this case , it can be as low as 2 gallons or as high as 23 gallons. (1 bbl = 42 gallons) Expressed as a percentage of the crude oil, this is 5 to 55%. (See attached links). The crude oil not refined as gasoline will be refined for other products. Common refined products from crude oil are provided in the related link, and will differ depending on the properties of the crude oil. It's very interesting that after refining, there will be more gallons of produced products than the original barrel of crude oil.
How many liters are in 2million barrel of crude oil?
There are 317,974,590 liters in 2 million barrels of crude oil.
When was fractional distillation first used in the oil industry?
No, fractional distillation was used to make brandy, whisky, perfumes, etc. long before there was an oil industry. However in those cases the mixture being distilled usually only had 2 or 3 fractions to separate, whereas crude oil has dozens.
Composition of hydrocarbons in crude oil?
Crude oil has oxygen, carbon dioxide and gastro hemus in it.
What have crude oil prices been in the past 2-5 years?
Here are the average per-barrel prices for crude oil:2005: $50.282006: $59.692007: $66.522008: $94.042009: $56.39
How is crude oil transported to the refinery?
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.
What is wrong with crude oil?
1.) fossil fuels emit dangerous smoke when burnt in oxygen 2.) they are exhaustible once they are used; they take thousands of years to get replenished 3.) they disturb the environmental balance 4.) dangerous for the ozone layer, which protects us from UV rays.
How many barrels oil are produced daily worldwide?
Whole world= 7,383,000 barrels America= 1,500,000 barrels
How many barrels of oil are used in US per year?
The US produces about 2 billion barrels of crude oil annually.

Why do you have crude oil?
Crude oil is simply oil that comes from the Earth. We have to refine it, a distillation process, in order to make it efficiently useful for burning. There are several degrees of refinement. At the bottom, are things like #6 oil; in the middle, are things like #2 oil and diesel; and at the top, are things like gasoline.
What products can be made from crude oil?
See the link belowPretty much any product that ends in -ine (gasoline), -ane (propane), or -ene (kerosene), along with diesel fuel and many plastics. These substances are referred to as petroleum distillates if you'd like to learn more.gasoline,airplane fuel,fibers for clothing,detergents,motor oil and other lubricants, asphalt for roads, and natural gasThe refined products of crude oil are: 1)Petroleum gas. 2)Naphtha. 3)Kerosene oil. 3)Diesel Oil. 4)Lubricating oil. 5)Mobil oil. 6)Bitumen. 7)Petrol.The products of the refined products include; 1) Cosmetics. 2) Tires. 3) Plastics. 4) Paints. 5) Rubber (synthetic). 6) Glue. 7) Drugs. 8) Detergents. 9) Pesticides. 10) Petrol additives.We do not know who or what they are. You didn't say.
