The major difference between oil and gasoline is the fact that gasoline is a fuel derivative of oil. Its name is shortened to "gas" in the United States and called "petrol," which is shortened from "petroleum spirits," in other places around the world. Other fuel derivatives of oil are ethane, diesel fuel, jet fuel, kerosene and natural gas. In addition to fuels, refined oil is also used to make olefins, lubricants, wax, sulfur or sulfuric acid, tar, asphalt and many others.

Gas oil ratio (GOR) is a measurement used in the oil and gas industry to express the relationship between the volume of gas and the volume of oil produced from a reservoir. It is typically calculated in standard cubic feet of gas per barrel of oil (scf/bbl). A higher GOR indicates a greater amount of gas relative to oil, which can influence production strategies and economic viability. Understanding GOR is crucial for reservoir management and optimizing extraction processes.
