Crude oil is a mixture of many weights of oil and gas. Methane or natural gas is usually funnd with it. The mixture goes from single carbon hydrocarbons to ashphalt used on roads. It is separated by fractional distillation.Gasoline is mostly octane, an eight carbon chain that inernal combustion engines seem to like best. The mixture actually varies depending on where it comes from and can vary in color from yellow to black.Many things such as plastic and fibers are made from petroleum.Kerosene, heating oil, jet fuel, parafin, diesel,are all part of the mix.

I wouldn't go to that mechanic up above if he thinks natural gas comes from crude..natural gas is a gas in the ground, how could it come from oil???

It is the other way around, - natural gas comes from crude oil, along with a couple hundred things! For instance chemicals to make plastic, fertalizer (ammonium nitrate and other stuff), chemicals for certian drugs. Also gasoline, diesel fuel (there are several grades of diesel fuel, - some so solid that they have to be heated to use), jet fuel, Kerosene and engine oil. Certian types of referigerant oil, and a host of other things I can't think fof right now!

So you have some explanations of what crude oil is & is not, but let's clarify what it is actually made from...Crude oil is created by megatons of pressure over millions of years on "source rock," which is the fossilized remains of phytoplankton and other microorganisms, not plant material. The fat content available in fauna is what allows the material to liquify vs. the flora that creates coal.

Crude oil is naturally occurring. It isn't made.

crude oil is made from decomposed forests from thousands of years ago and the gas is a by product if u pass wind that is due to your food being decomposed which releases gas which basically is the same idea

If gasoline is provided on your section and you're no longer now cooking with it, then you certainly've got the cost of connecting to the line on the line, digging up the backyard to get on your place, after which some plumbing to the hot furnace. while you're making plans on staying on your place for years yet to return, i could do it.

This will strengthen their performance. So, upload up all the expenditures of the hot installation of the gasoline line, learn expenditures of basically changing oil boiler against a sparkling gasoline gadget. decide how long you would be staying the place you're and spot while you're keen to spend somewhat extra each twelve months to get gasoline. gasoline warmth can be extra useful if merchandising your place. and you eliminate the oil storage tank, which if it is going to leak will reason you lots grief with the EPA or your state's equivalent business enterprise.

Crude oil is the sludgy oil that comes directly out of the ground. It hasn't been refined at all.

When the oil well drillers hit oil and it shoots up in the sky...that's the crude oil.
