The Petroleum Process

Petrol has been the most important source of energy around the world for decades. It is used everyday in various ways. Making petrol involves refining oil which costs a lot of money. There are several stages in making petrol.

The process begins in the oil field. The oil field is located by geologic survey teams. After that, the oil is pumped via pipeline to the storage tank. It is refined into various products such as petrol, plastic and many other products. After that, it is stored in storage tanks. The petrol is stored in tanks and transported to petrol stations. Then, the petrol is stored in underground tanks, before it is pumped into cars tanks, and the cars are happily driven.

Producing petrol costs a lot of money. People should consume it wisely. The world might go back to the Stone Age if oil is finished. Scientists have started to look for alternative sources of energy.
