Understanding Crude Oil Refining Process

Learn about how crude oil is extracted and refined, the various chemicals it contains, and how they are used to produce petrol, diesel, kerosene, tar, and motor oil through fractional distillation. Follow the heating and separation process that results in different products like gasoline, naphtha, and lubricants.
