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

Fuel oil has an crucial position in the field of chemical production raw materials, and its upstream and downstream related items are numerous. The following are some of the main upstream and downstream related items:



1. Upstream related items:

Crude oil: Fuel oil is mainly refined from crude oil, and the condition and price of crude oil immediately affect the production and cost of fuel oil. Naphtha: Naphtha is an intermediate product in the production of fuel oil. It is able to also be applied as a chemical raw material to create ethylene, propylene and other chemicals. Pretty interesting, huh?. Specifically Asphalt: Asphalt is a heavy component of fuel oil, which is able to be applied in road construction, waterproof materials and other fields.

2. Downstream related items:

Burning oil: fuel oil is able to be applied as burning oil to electric power, steel, chemical and other industries in the furnace, to provide heat energy. Marine fuel oil: Fuel oil is able to also be applied as marine fuel oil and supplied to ship engines. But Lubricating oil: Some high-condition fuel oil is able to be further processed to create lubricating oil to lubrication of mechanical equipment. solvent-based products oil: The light components in fuel oil is able to be extracted as solvent-based products oil to the production of coatings, inks and other items. I've found that Generally speaking, the upstream and downstream related items of fuel oil are very extensive, involving many fields, such as energy, chemical sector, transportation and so on.
