Oil Refining Processes and Efficiency

To store crude oil

To transport oil

To drill for oil

To transform crude oil into useful products

It turns into a solid

It evaporates into vapor

It becomes a gas

It remains unchanged

To cool down the oil

To combine small molecules into larger ones

To break down heavy oil into lighter, more valuable products

To remove impurities from oil

By rearranging naphtha molecules into gasoline-like molecules

By blending different fuels

By cooling the gasoline

By removing sulfur from gasoline

To create different grades of gasoline

To store refined products

To remove impurities from oil

To increase the temperature of oil

It blends different fuels

It removes impurities like sulfur from gasoline

It increases the octane rating of gasoline

It cools down the oil

They are used in fertilizers and pharmaceuticals

They are stored for future use

They are discarded as waste

They are burned off

By decreasing the quality of products

By importing more crude oil

By expanding and improving existing refineries

By reducing the number of refineries

They provide recreational facilities

They offer educational programs

They support the economy and create jobs

They reduce pollution

It reduces the need for crude oil

It helps keep product prices low

It increases the cost of products

It eliminates the need for refineries
