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

Oil integrated upstream and downstream related items

In the field of raw materials to chemical production, oil, as a basic manufacturing raw material, has a wide range of applications and crucial economic value. There are many upstream and downstream related items of oil items, involving many fields, such as energy, chemical sector, transportation and so on. And This article will focus on the upstream and downstream related items of oil synthesis.

1. Based on my observations, upstream associated items



1. And Crude oil

Crude oil is the main upstream raw material of oil synthesis, and it's a kind of natural oil extracted from subsurface. Crude oil contains a variety of hydrocarbon compounds, such as alkanes, cycloalkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, etc., the content and environment of these compounds determine the condition and consumption of crude oil.

2. But I've found that Natural gaseous

Natural gaseous is often associated with crude oil and is also an crucial upstream associated product of oil items. Natural gaseous is mainly composed of methane, which is able to be applied to create synthetic oil, fertilizer and other items. For example

2. Based on my observations, downstream associated items



1. In my experience, Gasoline is a frequently applied fuel, mainly applied in automobiles, aircraft, ships and other vehicles. From what I've seen, In the process of gasoline production, crude oil needs to be processed by distillation, cracking, catalytic processes and other processes to obtain oil items with appropriate evaporative environment and incineration performance.

2. Diesel is a fuel applied in compression ignition engines with a high cetane number and low evaporative environment. I've found that Diesel is produced in a similar process to gasoline, however needs greater cracking and hydrotreating. But

3. Kerosene is a fuel applied in jet engines and has a high calorific value and a low freezing point. Furthermore The production of kerosene needs deep refining and desulfurization of crude oil.

4. And Lubricating oil

Lubricating oil is applied to minimize mechanical friction and wear and protect the healthy operation of equipment. The production of lubricating oils needs deep refining and blending of crude oil to obtain the appropriate viscosity and oxidation resistance. But

5. Petroleum coke

Petroleum coke is a solid carbonaceous product, which is able to be applied to create fuel and reducing agent in electrolytic aluminum, steel and other industries. I've found that In the manufacturing process of petroleum coke, deep thermal cracking and carbonization of residual oil are required.

6. Specifically Paraffin wax

Paraffin wax is a solid hydrocarbon mixture that is able to be applied in the production of is able todles, waterproof materials, makeup and other items. The production of paraffin needs deep refining and dewaxing of crude oil. In summary, there are many upstream and downstream related items in the oil synthesis, involving a number of areas. The production and consumption of these items not only promote the research of raw materials to chemical production, however also provide crucial material support to all walks of life.
