LEARNING OUTCOME
1. Identify the type of raw material used in oil and gas industry
2. List petroleum and petrochemical products.3. Discuss the refining processes for the production of
petroleum products
DEFINITION
1. Petroleum is a complex mixture of organic liquid called crude oil and natural gas. Its varies of color and composition
2. Crude oil and natural gas are extracted from the ground, on land or under the oceans, by sinking an oil well and are then transported by pipeline and/or ship to refineries where their components are processed into refined products. Crude oil and natural gas are of little use in their raw state; their value lies in what is created from them: fuels, lubricating oils, waxes, asphalt, petrochemicals and pipeline quality natural gas
TIMELINE
PETROLEUM AND PETROCHEMICAL PRODUCT
1. Dry gas
-Common: methane, ethane and propane
2. Wet gas
-Common: methane (80%-90%), natural gas liquid and natural gasoline
3. Condensate
4. Light crude oil :few natural gas liquid
5. Heavy crude oil: no natural gas liquid
6. Bitumen: Complex asphaltene
UPSTREAM PROCESSING
1. upstream oil sector is a term commonly used to refer to the searching for and the recovery and production of crude oil and natural gas. The upstream oil sector is also known as the exploration and production (E&P) sector.
2. The upstream sector includes the searching for potential underground or underwater oil and gas fields, drilling of exploratory wells, and subsequently operating the wells that recover and bring the crude oil and/or raw natural gas to the surface
3. The activities within the upstream sector are divided into different phases consisting of exploration, appraisal, development, production and abandonment.
GENERAL REFINING PROCESSES
1. Crude distillation unit
2. Vacuum distillation unit
3. Catalytic reformer unit
4. Hydrocracker unit
5. Coking units
REFINING PROCESSES
ASSIGNMENT
