Petroleum products: Overview
Petroleum products derived from crude oil (petroleum) as it's processed in oil refineries. They’re essential in fueling transportation, generating energy, and serving as raw materials for a wide range of products.
Distillation, cracking, and more
Distillation – separates crude oil into fractions based on boiling points.
Cracking – breaks large hydrocarbons into smaller, more useful ones (e.g., gasoline).
Reforming & Treating – alters chemical structures and removes impurities.
Major categories of petroleum products
1. Fuels
These are the most common petroleum products:
Gasoline (Petrol) – for cars and light vehicles.
Diesel – for trucks, buses, and generators.
Jet Fuel (Kerosene/ATF) – for aircraft.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) – for cooking, heating, vehicles.
Fuel Oil – used in ships and industrial boilers.
Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) – like propane, butane, used in heating and petrochemicals.
Lubricants, asphalt, and petrochemicals
2. Lubricants
Motor oil, greases, and hydraulic fluids to reduce wear and friction in engines and machinery.
3. Asphalt & Bitumen
Used in road construction and roofing materials.
4. Petrochemicals (Feedstocks)
Raw materials for plastics, synthetic rubber, fertilizers, detergents, paints, and cosmetics.
Ethylene, propylene, benzene, toluene, xylene, etc.
5. Waxes & Specialty Products
Candles, polishes, waterproofing materials.
Environmental considerations and future trends
🌍 Environmental Considerations
Greenhouse gas emissions during use (CO₂, NOx).
Oil spills and refining pollution impact air and water.
Global transition is underway toward renewables and cleaner fuels.
📉 Future Trends
Demand shifting from fuels to petrochemicals in some regions.
Increased regulation and focus on carbon capture, biofuels, and sustainable alternatives.
