PETROLEUM PRODUCTS: FRACTIONS OF CRUDE OIL
Abstract: Petroleum (also called crude oil), is a source of energy which is non-renewable. It is a naturally occurring liquid found beneath the Earth’s surface (Lithosphere) that can be refined into fuel. Petroleum is a fossil fuel, which means that it has been created by the decomposition of organic matter over millions of years. It is developed in sedimentary rock under severe heat and pressure. Petroleum or crude oil is a …
