Crude oil makes much of the modern world possible. It is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, formed over millions of years from the remains of plants and animals. In other words, it’s literally a fossil fuel, existing in underground reservoirs and pools, in the gaps between sedimentary rocks, and near the surface in tar sands.

Petroleum products are fuels that are made using crude oil and other hydrocarbons that are contained in natural gas. Here are ten different petroleum products made using crude oil:.

Gasoline

Compared to petroleum refineries, blending terminals are more prevalent and widely spaced, and they are equipped to fill tanker trucks that deliver finished motor gasoline to retail locations.

Jet Fuel

Around 10% of the world’s crude oil currently goes towards creating jet fuel that’s used to power the world’s air travel. As with diesel, it’s a mixture of hydrocarbons with the exact composition varying depending on the petroleum source.

Fuel Oil

Any of the several fractions obtained from petroleum distillation are known as fuel oil. These oils consist of residues and distillates. Heavy fuel, marine fuel, furnace oil, gas oil, heating oils, diesel fuel, and other types of fuel oils are examples of fuel oils.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas

LPG, sometimes referred to as propane or butane, is a flammable gas used in cooking equipment, home heating and as fuel for cars. In the UK, it’s frequently used as a home heating source in areas not connected to the mains gas grid.

Bitumen

One of petroleum's most viscous components is bitumen. It can be a dark, sticky liquid or an apparently solid mass that acts like a liquid over very long time scales, depending on its precise composition. The substance is frequently referred to as asphalt in the United States.

Petrochemicals

The chemical byproducts of refining petroleum are known as petrochemicals. Certain chemical compounds derived from petroleum can also be found in renewable sources like sugar cane, maize, and palm fruit, as well as other fossil fuels like coal and natural gas.
