  • What is crude oil refining?
  • Petroleum refineries convert (refine) crude oil into petroleum products for use as fuels for transportation, heating, paving roads, and generating electricity and as feedstocks for making chemicals. Refining breaks crude oil down into its various components, which are then selectively reconfigured into new products.
  • What are petroleum refining processes?
  • Petroleum refining processes are the chemical engineering processes and other facilities used in petroleum refineries (also referred to as oil refineries) to transform crude oil into useful products such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), gasoline or petrol, kerosene, jet fuel, diesel oil and fuel oils.
  • What is an oil refinery?
  • An oil refinery is a facility that takes crude oil and distills it into various useful petroleum products such as gasoline, kerosene, or jet fuel. Refining is classified as a downstream operation of the oil and gas industry, although many integrated oil companies will operate both extraction and refining services.
  • What oils and liquids are used in refineries & blending facilities?
  • In addition to crude oil, refineries and blending facilities add other oils and liquids during processing to produce the finished products that are sold to consumers. These other oils and liquids include: Gasoline accounts for the largest share of total petroleum products produced each year in U.S. petroleum refineries.
