Crude oil is feedstock for just about everything under the sun. When crude oil is refined, its various chemical parts are separated and some become gasoline, some lubricants, some asphalt, and others the raw materials for plastics and rubber and many more things. Here are some examples of what can be obtained from petroleum (crude oil, natural gas, and/or viscous or solid forms): Fuels - like gasoline, diesel, propane (many people use propane to heat their homes), heating oil Heavy bottoms - like asphalt, bitumen, tar Petrochemicals - used as a feedstock for many everyday products: * plastic gadgets, tools, bags, toys * candles * clothing (polyester, nylon) * hand lotions * petroleum jelly * perfume * dishwashing liquids * ink * bubble gums * car tires * ammonia * heart valves * and many more ---- Crude oil is refined and used to make all these products: * Ethane and other short-chain alkanes which are used as fuel * Diesel * Fuel oils * Petrol * Jet fuel * Kerosene * Liquid petroleum gas (LPG) * Natural gas * Alkenes (olefins) which can be manufactured into plastics or other compounds * Lubricants (produces light machine oils, motor oils, and greases, adding viscosity stabilizers as required). * Wax, used in the packaging of frozen foods, among others. * Sulfur or Sulfuric acid. These are a useful industrial materials. Sulfuric acid is usually prepared as the acid precursor oleum, a byproduct of sulfur removal from fuels. * Bulk tar. * Asphalt * Petroleum coke, used in speciality carbon products or as solid fuel. * Paraffin wax * Aromatic petrochemicals to be used as precursors in other chemical production.

What else can I help you with?
Do you get petrol from oil?
Yes. It is refined from crude oil in a process known as cracking.
How are polymers made into crude oil?
Polymers are not made into crude oil. Crude oil is composed of a mixture of hydrocarbons that are naturally occurring in the earth's crust. However, polymers can be derived from crude oil through a process called polymerization, where small molecular units (monomers) derived from crude oil are chemically bonded together to form long chains known as polymers.
Oil and petroleum the same thing?
Oil and petroleum are often used interchangeably, but they refer to different forms of the same substance. Crude oil is a natural resource extracted from the ground, while petroleum is a broad term that includes processed products derived from crude oil, such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
Is oil a primary product or a secondary product?
Oil is considered a primary product as it is extracted directly from natural resources such as crude oil reserves. Secondary products are derived from primary products through further processing or manufacturing. Oil can be refined into secondary products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
A sentence for crude?
i have to be crude because you disobeyed me
Is mineral oil derived from crude oil?
Yes mineral oil is derived from crude oil. ---- No. Mineral oil is another term for vegetable oil, which is derived from the natural oils of plants, not crude.
Is there a method of extracting biopesticides from Jatropha crude oil?
Bio-pesticides are derived as residual bi-products after fermentation of the jatropha crude oil for biodiesel production
Is soyabean oil crude oil?
No because soyabean oil is derived from soyabeans while crude oil is derived from fossil fuels.
What hydrocarbons is crude oil a mixture of?
itsmadeoflotsofhydrocarbens
Is gasoline and crude oil the same?
No, crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons as they are found in the earth. Gasoline is one of the many products derived from crude oil through catalytic cracking, distillation and so on. It contains mostly heptane and octane.
What is fuel oil made from?
It is derived from crude oil.
Are aspirin made from crude oil?
yes using phenol, a compound that is derived from crude oil.
Do you get petrol from oil?
Yes. It is refined from crude oil in a process known as cracking.
Is glue made from crude oil?
Yes, some types of glue are made from petroleum-based products derived from crude oil, such as synthetic adhesives. These adhesives are made by processing and refining crude oil to create polymers that can then be used in glue formulations.
How are polymers made into crude oil?
Polymers are not made into crude oil. Crude oil is composed of a mixture of hydrocarbons that are naturally occurring in the earth's crust. However, polymers can be derived from crude oil through a process called polymerization, where small molecular units (monomers) derived from crude oil are chemically bonded together to form long chains known as polymers.
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.
Is crude oil a compond element or mixture?
Crude oil is a mixture of different compounds, primarily hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons can vary in chain length and structure, leading to the wide range of products that can be derived from crude oil through refining processes.
