Petroleum Manufacturing Industries

Using petroleum products has been to make your life more comfortable and convenient. Often, these comforts are taken for granted. For example, the electricity that helped you run appliances to prepare breakfast might have come from an oil-burning power station, or perhaps your family uses a natural gas stove. Next, you might have taken a car (or bus) that ran on gasoline or diesel.

Imagine how your life could change if our oil supply suddenly ran out.

Even though you are now in the twenty-first century, the petroleum industry remains the primary energy source used by humankind. The transport sector is an excellent example of this. Petroleum is also used in the chemical industry and power plants.

The rapid technological advances that have taken place over the past 100 years are also partially attributed to this portable fuel that can be easily filled into the gasoline tanks of cars.

Petroleum is a term used to describe crude oil, a fossil fuel, and a variety of other goods that are made from it in the world today. These consist of a wide range of fuels, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and combustibles.
