manufacture other products.

PETROLEUM USED FOR?



When petroleum is refined, its various chemical
parts are separated and some become gasoline,
some asphalt, and other parts become the raw
materials for plastics and rubber for tires and
many more things.
Examples of what can be obtained from
petroleum: crude oil, natural gas, and/or viscous
or solid forms
Fuels - like gasoline, diesel, propane (many
people use propane to heat their homes), heating
oil
Americans
consume
petroleum
products at a
rate of three
and a half
gallons of oil
per day each.
But as you
can see from
this chart
petroleum is
not just used
for fuel!!
One 42-gallon barrel of oil creates 19.4 gallons of
gasoline. The rest (over half) is used to make things
like:
Solvents
Diesel
Motor Oil
Bearing Grease
Ink
Floor Wax
Ballpoint Pens
Football Cleats
Upholstery
Sweaters
