It is distilled into different fractions, heavy fuel oil (e.g. for ships), kerosene (planes), diesel (cars), gas/petrol (cars), as an example. Also the heavier fractions from distillations may also be 'cracked' to produce more volatile components. The cracking process is undertaken using catalysis.

Is crude oil different from fuel?

Yes, crude oil is a raw natural resource extracted from the ground, while fuel refers to refined products derived from crude oil such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Crude oil undergoes a refining process to separate and extract different components which are then used as fuel for various purposes.

What is the fraction used for jet fuel out crude oil?

Jet fuel is typically composed of hydrocarbons derived from crude oil. The fraction of crude oil used for jet fuel production is known as kerosene, which is a distillation product in the mid-range of the crude oil distillation process. Because jet fuel is a specialized product, only a small fraction of the total crude oil distillation is used to produce it.


How much jet fuel can be refined from 1000000 barrels of crude oil?

The amount of jet fuel that can be refined from crude oil varies depending on the specific refining process and the characteristics of the crude oil. On average, about 10-15% of crude oil can be converted into jet fuel. Therefore, from 1,000,000 barrels of crude oil, approximately 100,000 to 150,000 barrels of jet fuel could typically be produced.


Why does using biodiesel make your supplies of crude oil last longer?

Is pentane a fossil fuel?

Pentane is an alkane which has been removed from crude oil by fractional distillation and it's crude oil that's the fossil fuel.


Is crude oil fossil fuel?

Oils wells dig up fossil fuels. The fuel that they bring up is raw, unrefined, and full of gunk. It's known as crude oil. So yes, crude oil is a fossil fuel. Correct me if I'm wrong.
