oil
After crude oil is removed from the ground, it is sent to a refinery by pipeline, ship, or barge. At a refinery, different parts of the crude oil are separated into usable petroleum products.
Benzene is a natural part of crude oil along with hundreds of other chemicals. Benzene forms about 1% or less of crude oil. In the oil "cracking process" and related processing at the refinery various parts of chemicals from the crude oil can be recombined to form additional benzene.
Crude oil can be refined in to a multitude of chemicals: a short list would be petrol, diesel, paraffin, plastics, solvents, and so on.
The world uses around about 85 million barrels of crude oil each day, or 14,000,000,000,000 milliliters.
Reforming is the process used to increase the total volume of gasoline that can be produced from a barrel of crude oil. Refining is the process of turning the crude oil into components for other uses.
Most of the crude oil is used to obtain motor gasoline, diesel, heating oil, jet fuel, and liquefied petroleum gases. Thus the crude oil is mostly used to produce energy. Small portion of crude oil is converted into petrochemical feedstock used in production of plastics, rubber, fertilizers, cosmetics and the like.
Crude oil and coal are two examples of fossil fuels.
Crude oil was based on the decomposition of ancient forests for the most part. Oil is called a fossil fuel and Qatar uses crude oil as a major source of income.
After crude oil is removed from the ground, it is sent to a refinery by pipeline, ship or barge. At a refinery, different parts of the crude oil are separated into useable petroleum products. Crude oil is measured in barrels (abbreviated "bbls"). A 42-U.S. gallon barrel of crude oil provides slightly more than 44 gallons of petroleum products. This gain from processing the crude oil is similar to what happens to popcorn, it gets bigger after it is popped.
Used to separate various fractions (parts) of crude oil eg gas, petrol, kerosene,diesel etc.It is also used in a distillery to separate alcohol from water
Crude oil is crude..
