What are the upstream raw materials for light oil/fuel oil? What are the downstream products?

As crucial raw materials to chemical production, light oil and fuel oil play an crucial role in the petrochemical sector. Their upstream and downstream related items are rich and diverse, forming a complex manufacturing chain. Makes sense, right?. In my experience, Generally speaking The main upstream and downstream related items of light oil and fuel oil will be described in detail below.

1. Light Oil Upstream and Downstream Related items



1. Upstream items: light oil is mainly composed of the remaining part of the heavy fraction of gasoline, kerosene and diesel oil separated by distillation. But Therefore, petroleum is the main upstream product of light oil. First

2. Downstream items: light oil is able to be applied as raw materials to many chemicals, such as ethylene, propylene, benzene, toluene, xylene, etc. These compounds are basic organic chemical raw materials, which is able to be applied to create plastics, synthetic rubber, synthetic fibers, dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and other items. I've found that Upstream and downstream related items of

2. But fuel oil



1. Upstream items: Fuel oil is mainly made of petroleum through a certain processing process. Therefore, petroleum is also the main upstream product of fuel oil.

2. Downstream items: Fuel oil is mainly applied to incineration to generate heat energy. Therefore, its downstream items mainly involve heat energy applications, such as power generation, ship fuel, manufacturing furnace fuel, etc. In addition, fuel oil is able to also be further processed to create some chemicals, such asphalt, paraffin and so on. In summary, light oil and fuel oil are crucial raw materials to chemical production, and their upstream and downstream related items cover petrochemical, energy, transportation and other fields.
