Crude oil
- Extraction
- Locating the deposit
- Gwahar Saudi Arabia. (earth)
- Cantarell México. (sea)
- Rumalia Irak. (earth)
- Drilling
- A hole is punched into the ground by a heavy
cutting tool called a bit that is attached to a cable
and pulley system that extract the petroleum
- Extraction and transportation
- Extraction
- development wells
- Transportation
- The transportation is made
immediately after extraction to keep
all their properties.
- Process
- Fractional Distillation
- Fractional distillation differs from distillation only in that it
separates a mixture into a number of different parts,
called fractions.
- Through fractioned distillation or
Cracking, a process in which larger
hydrocarbons are converted into smaller
ones, which are more useful.
- Conversion processes
- consist of a molecular breakdown and
becomes products more valuable:
gaseous hydrocarbons, mixtures of
materials for gasoline and diesel fuel.
- During the process, some of the
molecules combine (polymerize) to
form larger molecules, they can be
performed, in general.
- Treatment
- The crude oil has a some impurities
like sulfur and nitrogen Using a
process called hydrotreating
- impurities are removed to reduce air
pollution when our fuels are used,
because about the 80 percent of crude
oil is heavier in sulfur and nitrogen
- The sulfur is converted to hydrogen sulfide
and sent to the Sulfur Unit where it is
converted into elemental sulfur.
- Nitrogen is transformed into ammonia
which is removed from the process by
water-washing.
- Formulation and mixing
- The formulation and mixing is the process
of mixing and combining hydrocarbon
fractions, additives and other
components for finished products with
specific yield properties suitable process.
- Others processes
- Deasphalting.Distillation.
- Solvent refining.
- Acid treatment and clay. ETC.
- is a complex mixture of organic
compounds known as “hydrocarbons”.
Most of them are either alkanes or
aromatic hydrocarbons.
