It can go via pipeline to an onshore facility for refining or storage, it can go to and FPSO (A floating production, storage and offloading vessel anchored in the vicinity of the oil rigs) where it could be pumped into oil tanker ships, or to a man made island where it is stored and pumped into oil tanker ships.
The oil eventually ends up in refineries where fuels, lubricants, plastics, chemical, rubber, and other bi-products are then manufactured.

How is uranium contained in the nuclear power plant?
In most reactor designs all the uranium is contained within the core, which is heavily shielded. There are a few designs that have been experimented with, like the homogenous slurry reactor where the uranium and coolant circulate as a slurry through the primary coolant loop. But all the moderator is inside the core, so the reaction stops when the slurry leaves the core. None of these designs ever left experimental stage.

Why are radioactive isotopes important to biologists?
As biological organisms take in sustenance, they take in the elements in whatever ratio of isotopes is common in their environment. By feeding them water or air or something that has been enriched in a particular isotope, they can track the progress of the material through the organism and identify the steps in the metabolizing of the material by seeing where the isotope appears both in terms of its physical locations and its the molecules it shows up in. It can also be used to track how long something is retained within the organism.

How did the Valero McKee refinery get its name?
This is speculation. The Ordovician? McKee formation has been a producer in the Permian Basin/Panhandle area. Before formal statigraphic correlations were made, the "McKee" may have been a producer in the area. Sometimes site names are taken from towns. ranches, formations, or geographic/geologic features. To my knowledge there is no settlement, unless it was a ranch or tract owner, with the name of McKee.
