Crude Oil
Petroleum, also known as: Crude Oil
Crude Oil is a natural mixture of Liquid Hydrocarbons.
In its natural state, Crude Oil has few direct uses.
However, when processed through an oil refinery, it can be transformed into a wide variety of high-value liquid petroleum products, such as gasoline and diesel.
The value of these products comes from their high energy density in their liquid state, making them ideal as transportation fuels.
Crude oil comes in hundreds of different varieties, called crude grades.
As a natural raw material, crude oil from different fields and deposits can have very different properties.
Raw grades from the same location with similar properties will typically be referred to as a single grade.
Examples of some well-known crude oil grades are: Brent, Tapis and WTI.
There are a wide variety of different properties used to distinguish between raw grades. These are detailed in a chemical analysis of the crude oil called a crude test.
