They lived millions of years ago in a marine (underwater) before the dinosaurs. Over the years, the remains were covered by layers of mud (very fine dirt known as silt).&nbsp; As the years passed the heat and pressure from the layers compressed the remains and turn them into what we today call crude oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe width=\"770\" height=\"193\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Petroleum takes three main forms:&nbsp;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">paraffin,&nbsp;asphaltic<\/span>, and&nbsp;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">mixed-base (aromatics and naphthenes)<\/span>. These forms are based upon the chemical makeup of the hydrocarbon-based oil. The exact molecular composition varies widely from formation to formation but the proportion of hydrocarbon vary as follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>hydrocarbon &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td><td>range (%)<\/td><td>average value (%)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>paraffins<\/td><td>15-60<\/td><td>30<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>naphtenes<\/td><td>30-60<\/td><td>49<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>aromatics<\/td><td>3-30<\/td><td>15<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>asphaltics<\/td><td>remains<\/td><td>6<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Crude oil smells and and looks like colored in dark yellow liquid. Usually it found in underground areas called reservoirs. Years ago the main applications of the crude oil were waterproofing and light emission. In the 1800s was discovered the \u201ckerosine\u201d. It\u2019s a liquid fuel that can be be isolated from crude oil. Kerosene was used for lighting purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">getting the oil<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Measurements are taken, and, if the site seems promising, drilling begins. Above the hole, a structure called a \u2018derrick\u2019 is built to house the tools and pipes going into the well. When finished, the drilled well will bring a steady flow of oil to the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-spectra-id=\"spectra-c87ec396-847d-4c51-bf94-6eec0b736b7e\" class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.energykids.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/oil-platform-300x198.jpg\" alt=\"oil platform\" class=\"wp-image-692\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-spectra-id=\"spectra-fbcc6844-733f-4980-b6ee-a433ef3cb80d\" class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.energykids.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/oil-pump-jack-1407715_1280-300x232.jpg\" alt=\"oil drilling\" class=\"wp-image-689\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After crude oil is removed from the ground, usually it is sent to a refinery by pipeline, ship or barge. Different parts of the crude oil are separated into useable petroleum products at the refinery. Crude oil is measured in barrels (abbreviated \u201cbbls\u201d). A gallon barrel of crude oil provides a little bit more than 44 gallons of petroleum products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it refined one barrel of crude oil produces about 19.9 gallons of finished motor gasoline, as well as other petroleum products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the petroleum products are used for energy production. Other products, made from petroleum and you know are: ink, crayons, bubble gum, dishwashing liquids, deodorant, eyeglasses, records, tires, ammonia, and heart valves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most commonly used fuels are distillations of petroleum. Distillation is a method of separating mixtures.
