Oil & Natural Gas

Like natural gas, crude oil is composed of:

• Exclusively Methane

• Butane and Propane

• A mixture of different hydrocarbons varying in length

• Only extremely large hydrocarbons which are broken up at a refinery once they have been extracted

Crude oil is refined and separated to create different types of fuel and material using this process:

• Cracking

• Fractional Distillation

• Filtration

• Crystallization

• Fracking

Bitumen is a product of fractional distillation of crude oil and has the highest boiling point and the highest viscosity. Therefore it is used for:

• Fuel for large ships and in some power stations

• Roof and road surfacing

• Fuel in aircraft

• Fuel in cars

Petroleum (oil) and natural gas form from...

• strong winds compressing dead organisms and leaf litter

• cooled lava after it is expelled from a volcano

• radioactive materials that form rich fuel sources

• remains of plants and animals compacted under intense heat and pressure
