Petroleum Processing and Research

Crude oil distillation & Excavation

Foul or unrefined oil generally called as "Dark Gold". Crude oil is a naturally occurring mineral oil which is composed of hydrocarbon deposits and other organic materials. Crude oil can be further refined into usable products such as gasoline, diesel and various forms of petrochemicals. Crude oils are basically classified as naphthenic, paraffinic or aromatic based on the predominant proportion of similar hydrocarbons. Oil and Gas are hydrocarbons as they are the compounds of carbon and hydrogen particles. By increasing the temperature, common matter first gets changed into lamp fuel, which is a solid kind of hydrocarbon. At around 90°C, it changes into a liquid state, which is oil and at around 150°C, it changes into a gas. A stone that has made oil and gas is known as a Source Rock.
