INTRODUCTION ON PETROLEUM

PETROLEUM

Petroleum is a naturally occurring liquid found beneath the Earth's surface that can be refined into fuel. Petroleum is a fossil fuel, meaning that it has been created by the decomposition of organic matter over millions of years. It is formed in sedimentary rock under intense heat and pressure.

How is Petroleum Formed? Oil and natural gas were formed from the remains of prehistoric plants and animals—that's why they're called fossil fuels. ... Over time, increasing pressure and temperature changed the mud, sand and silt into rock (known as source rock) and slowly “cooked” the organic matter into petroleum

Petroleum is made of fossil fuel, petroleum is formed when large quantities of dead organisms, mostly zooplankton and algae, are buried underneath sedimentary rock and subjected to both intense heat and pressure. Petroleum has mostly been recovered by oil drilling (natural petroleum springs are rare).

Petroleum Extracting crude oil normally starts with drilling wells into an underground reservoir. When an oil well has been tapped, a geologist (known on the rig as the "mudlogger") will note its presence.

Crude oil (a non-renewable resource) is usually found in underground areas called reservoirs. It is liquid in nature and yellowish black in color. ... Sometimes, petroleum and crude oil are used to mean the same thing, but petroleum itself is a broad range of petroleum products including crude oil itself.

What is Petroleum is actually? Petroleum, also called crude oil, is a fossil fuel. Like coal and natural gas, petroleum was formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms, such as plants, algae, and bacteria.

What Are The Advantages of Petroleum?
    • It can produce a large amount of energy. Petroleum is a highly dense fuel source.
    • Its technology and infrastructure are already in place.
    • It can be used in a wide range of applications.
    • It can lead to environmental pollution.
    • Its sources are finite.
    • It can be harmful to health.

What are 10 different petroleum products?
These petroleum products include :- 
  • Gasoline 
  • Distillates such as diesel fuel and heating oil
  • Jet fuel 
  • Petrochemical feedstocks
  • Waxes 
  • Lubricating oil 
  • Asphalt.

What are the characteristics of petroleum?
Petroleum fuels should ignite and burn easily and release their energy completely. Which is a great deal compared to their weight. These fuels are made of hydrocarbons and refined from crude oil through fractional distillation and characterized by their boiling points and molecular weights

How is petroleum refined?

Petroleum Refining Process
Refining is a process where the separation of various compounds of crude oil occurs. Fractional distillation is a process used to separate its compounds. ... The crude oil is heated to a temperature of 400-degree Celcius, is fed in at the bottom of the column and heated further.
