Oil and Petroleum

Pure petroleum coke lacks hydrogen and other impurities commonly found in crude oil. It is essentially a carbon-rich material with low levels of sulfur and metals.

Petroleum jelly itself does not harden; it is a semi-solid, waxy substance at room temperature. However, when exposed to extreme cold temperatures, petroleum jelly can become more solid and difficult to spread.

Crude oil needs to be heated to around 600-700 degrees Fahrenheit to vaporize hydrocarbons effectively. This temperature helps to separate the hydrocarbons into different components based on their boiling points through a process called fractional distillation.

Refining of petroleum is the process of converting crude oil into various useful products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel through a series of separation, conversion, and purification steps. It involves heating the crude oil to separate it into different components based on their boiling points, which are then further processed to meet specific quality and regulatory requirements.

Crude oil is a liquid, not a plasma. It is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon mixture that is formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms. It is widely used as a source of energy and in the production of various products.

Petroleum is not a mineral because it is organic in origin, coming from the remains of ancient plants and animals. Additionally, petroleum is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, while minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure.

Oil is a complex mixture, containing both organic and inorganic compounds. Homogeneity/ heterogenous usually refers to the variability of properties. Oil properties in many reservoirs are the same from well to well or at least they are sufficiently similar that it will not affect performance evaluations. Some have changing properties in both spatial and vertical dimensions. This has been noted in extensive and thick reservoirs in the Middle East countries.

I hope this answers your question.

There are approximately 37,000 BTU in one liter of crude oil.

Fractional distillation is described as a continuous process because it involves a continuous separation of a mixture into its components based on their boiling points. The process is carried out continuously by heating the mixture, condensing the vapor, and collecting the separated components in a continuous manner without interrupting the operation.

NO Its not a light petroleum product

Yes, Vaseline is a brand of petroleum jelly, and it does contain petroleum-derived ingredients. It is made from a combination of mineral oils and waxes, which are byproducts of the petroleum refining process.

The amount of crude oil being used right now currently exceeds that supply readily available.

Over a short time period (weeks), gasoline does not change much. But it is a mixture of several different hydrocarbons, and over a period of months, it will slowly lose dissolved gases, such as oxygen or nitrogen, and the most volatile petroleum fractions. If it is not in a perfectly sealed container, it may thicken, and in gas tanks and engines it may accumulate particulates, corrosion, and water.

These changes mean that it may not provide the proper qualities for fuel-injected engines, or may clog fuel filters. It is always best to use the freshest gasoline available. In small engines such as lawn mowers, mixing new gas with old may allow it to be used without damaging the engine. Ideally, however, excess gas should be drained from tanks and fuel lines before long-term storage.

Naphtha is separated from other fractions of crude oil through the process of fractional distillation in a refinery. This process heats the crude oil to high temperatures, causing the different hydrocarbons within the oil to vaporize at different temperatures. Naphtha has a lower boiling point compared to other fractions, allowing it to be collected as a separate product.

Crude oil is typically stored underground where temperatures are relatively constant, so it is not inherently hot. However, during extraction and transportation, friction and pressure can cause the oil to heat up.

Crude oil is composed of various hydrocarbons, with different molecular structures, including straight chains, branched chains, and rings. The main components of crude oil are classified into fractions based on their boiling points, such as gas, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and heavy fuel oil. Each fraction can be further refined into different products like jet fuel, lubricants, and asphalt.

Yes, crude oil is combustible. It can be burned to release energy, making it a common fuel source for vehicles and power plants. However, precautions must be taken when handling and storing crude oil to prevent accidental fires or explosions.

Products made from petroleum include gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, heating oil, and various types of plastics and synthetic materials.

Depends on where and how the jelly is applied. If the entire plant was covered in a thin layer of petroleum jelly transpiration would not be able to occur and the plant would eventually die; the jelly would allow sunlight to pass through so photosynthesis should still be able to take place.

Yes! If we talk about easiness and cost, then other methods are inexpensive. But what the reflection seismology tells us, the gravity data or magnetic data doesn't tell us. Seismic data tells us about the contrast of majority of the geological layers and our interest is to find oil and gas in such layers. Gravity data doesn't tell us about such minute contrasts. It can tell us the difference in gravitational attraction of two different rocks of significant density contrast e.g. 3.0 (hard rock) to 2.5 gm/cc (soft rock). It is very useful tool to conduct a reconnaissance surveys. Like to know the deep crustal rocks in the areas of exploration, to get information of deep magnetic anomalies and so on. Therefore, seismic data is more refined, much better resolution up to 20meters rather than in killo meters (gravity/magnetic) and a better 3D subsurface image.

The term you are looking for is "knock" in relation to combustion in internal combustion engines, specifically in the context of gasoline engines.

Petroleum or crude is mixture of hydrocarbons formed by organic activities of dead plants and animals inside the earth (organic theory). Least accepted inorganic theory explains that the carbon deposits during formation of earth would have resulted in petroleum formation.

When distilled,crude oil gives out petrol which is again hydrocarbon mixture..

The flash point of Bakken crude oil typically ranges between 40-50 degrees Celsius. However, this can vary depending on the specific composition of the crude oil.

Cooking oil that is rancid might have a white color instead of a golden color. The usual way to tell if something like this is rancid is the smell. Rancid cooking oil has a distinct odor. Cooking oil that is not rancid might not have a strong odor. There is also a "best by" date on the bottle to go by.
