INTRODUCTION:
Crude oil is refined into petroleum products in refineries. This can be used as fuel for electricity generating, road paving, heating, and transportation. They are also used as raw materials in the production of chemicals. Crude oil is split into its component parts during refining. Then, they are only some of them modified to create new units of usage. The energy industry is continually changing, encompassing everything from running power plants to using natural gas and oil for petrochemicals as well as renewable energy sources.
