Oil Process

Oil passes through many steps to reach the petrol stations and then into the cars as a fuel. Cars need a special type of fuel which should be refined for that purpose. In this essay I will write the steps of the oil from underground to the car’s tanks.

First the oil is located either underground in the desert or underground the sea. Next the oil is pumped to huge storage tanks through pipe lines which can be 50 km long to refineries. After that the oil is refined into different products such as light gases, heavy gas oil and petrol. Then the petrol is stored into the petrol storage tanks. The next step is the petrol is transported to the petrol stations and stored in the underground storage tanks. .
All of this process might take around one or two days if no trucks were available to transport the petrol from the refinery to the petrol stations

These are the process steps which happen for the people to get fuel in their cars.
