can anyone tell me that how mnay petro can be refined in a barrel of crude oil?

Crude oil is sold in 42 gallon barrels. depending on where it comes from will determine what portion of this is made into gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel and a portion that is left over as pet-coke.  The average is 19.5 gals of gasoline per barrel of oil.

You have an Airetool tube cleaner.  Look at\npage 69 in the catalog listed below.\n\nIn the oil industry, they use something called a\ngel pig to clean out the pipeline.  I'm guessing\nthat's not what you want, however.

Depends.  Tar is basically crude, crude, crude oil, and coal, which we have sh*t loads of, can be converted to petrochemicals, but at a higher cost.  There isn't really a clear line between crude and tar, but rather a point where the prevailing price makes the scrubbing of dirty oil not cost effective.  When light, sweet crude runs out, the costs of gas will soar, and the dirtier crap will be profitable.  I think the 2042 estimate is based on known deposits of light sweet crude that are easy enough to mine as to be profitable today.  There are also stores of light sweet crude that are hard to get to, like deep under the ocean floor, which would likewise become worthwhile to mine.

OK ...\n\nAssuming we are talking about "standard" petroleum oils rather than synthetic basestocks :\n\nPetroleum products basically sit on a continuum: \n\nFlammable\nmethane, ethane, propane, butane (all gases)   Flash Points -50C\npetrol (basically C5 - C10) with aromaics and olefins Flash Point   -30C\nstodard solvent (low aromatics)  Flash Point   35C\nmineral turpentine (high aromatics) Flash Point 35C\nkerosine / jetfuel A1  Flash Point 45C\nlamp oil (low aromatics)  Flash Point 52C\nlight heating oil   Flash Point 58C\n\nCombustible\ndiesel  Flash Point 62C min\nfuel oil Flash Point 80C\nlight oil (100SUS) Flash Point 190C\nmid visc oil (500SUS) Flash Point 220C\nhigh visc oil (Brightstock) Flash Point 260C\nWaxes Flash Point > 260C\nBitumen / Tar  Flash Point > 300C\n\nIn terms of "how are they different", there are a number of ways:\n\nMoving from Flammable to Combustible, flammable products contain small, light molecules (C1 - C15) of low viscosity and low density while combustible molecules are larger (C16 - C40). This makes them both heavier (higher density) and thicker (higher viscosity).\n\nTo get a clean burning lamp oil, you also need to remove the aromatic and olefinic components (read benzene rings and double bonds) as these tend to cause smoke. It should have few other components, so that it will burn clean and leave no residue.\n\nFor an engine oil, you also remove some of the benzene rings and double bonds, because they make the oil unstable and prone to oxidation and sludging (not good if you want to keep your engine clean). Engine oils also contain additives to remove the acids which form during fuel combustion, antioxidants, detergent/dispersants to hold up soot, antiwear agents, metal deactivators and viscosity index improvers.\n\nSo molecular size, paraffinic vs olefinic vs aromatic content, viscosity, additive packages all play a part.

I like the idea of Bio fuel, you can make a low octane fuel from all kinds of agricultural bi-products. We happen to be really good at agriculture

the density keeps on varying \n\nfor eg this \n\n\nThe density of crude oil varies, depending upon the amount of heavy and light components. Typical values, in Kg per cubic meter are:\n\n    * Mexican crude oil 973\n    * Texas crude oil 873\n    * Gasoline 737\n    * Kerosene 817\n    * Diesel 840\n    * Automobile oil 880 - 940\n    * Pure water (at 4°C) 1000

just mix petrolium and flour together in a bottle - make it thick into a sauce\n\nthat is instant NAPALM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That question can’t be answered until you tell us what we mean by ‘supply’. Oil supplies are measured in 3 basic ways.\n\nThe first type of supply is the liquid crude reserve supply. This is the amount of liquid oil that we absolutely, definitely know we can make a prophet out of at today’s prices and using today’s technology.  We have drilled well into reserve supplies, we know they are there, we know how much and we know the quality. Proven reserves are in the 1017-981 billion barrel range. (See link 1 below)\n\nThe second type is the  liquid crude  resource supply. This is the amount of liquid oil that we know exists in the ground that we can reasonably expect to be able to get to if we need it. We haven’t fully explored resource supplies. There might have been a few test holes drilled and various seismic tests but at the moment it’s not worth doing more detailed investigation because it isn’t profitable enough. Current estimates of world liquid oil resources range from 2, 248 to 3, 896 billion barrels. (See link 2 below).\n\nThen come the non-liquid oil resources. These are massive. They include tar sands and oil shales amongst other things. Although Canada has been profitably extracting sand oil for decades it is less profitable than drilling for liquid crude oil, so nobody has fully explored the extent of sand and shale oil. We know it’s huge, far larger than the amount of liquid crude ever discovered. But just how large is uncertain. Best estimates say that worldwide tar sands amount to 6,200 billion barrels with 890 billion\nbarrels being “recoverable”, while oil shale  in the US alone amounts to some 160,000 billion barrels (see link 3 below).\n\n______________\n>>>> guess-timates put our production peak around 25 years.\n\nNo, they don't. They put our liquid crude peak at around then, but the question asked about all oil, not just liquid crude. The leak for all oil won't come for another 100 years or so.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Stop right there!\n\nPetroleum is found in the crust of the earth. As a matter of fact, it is found in porous permeable rock. That simply means it is found in rock that has tiny interconnected holes.\n\nThe oil is held in place by water beneath & a cap rock above. The oil sits on the water b/c it is less dense. The cap rock keeps it from escaping b/c it is impermeable & will not allow the oil through.\n\nEven though the crust is relatively thin, the oil is no where near the next layer, the mantle. If it were, it would be too hot & the oil would become part of the mantle melt.\n\nThe mantle is "plastic" being neither liquid or solid due to the immense pressure there. The crust "floats" atop the mantle b/c it is less dense.\n\nBottom line... petroleum does NOT lubricate anything in the earth & most certainly does not lub up the mantle/crust.\n\nAlso, while there is convection in the mantle, it does not "spin" around in the manner in which you speak.\n\nMy job is done here. :)

I've got one for you. Changing World Technologies has a process that turns turkey guts into oil (see attached link). That would be a very interesting and useful topic.

Crude oil price fell by $1.00-Jan. 24th.\nper barrel in Alaska.

I'm thinking it would be about the size of, oh say, a planet. Oil is a product of fossil fuels. Long dead and buried by time biological creatures that become compressed to crude oil over time and planetary pressure. As long as things keep dying and compressing, we will have new sources of crude, however, if it is pulled out faster then it is replenished it will create a void in supply.

Good barrel, what type of paintball are you playing by the way? That would help a bunch.

oil. because something ryhmes with oil.

Big oil=big corruption.\n\nThey need to be investigated and charged.

It sounds extremely unlikely.  In fact, so unlikely that I would rate it as impossible.  The problem is that the first stage of the reaction would be the splitting of one of the C---H bonds in methane and you would need pretty brutal reaction conditions to achieve this, e.g. temperatures well in excess of 1000°C.  At these temperatures, hydrocarbons such as octane are unstable and simply would not form.  If there is any reaction at all, I would guess that, at fairly high temperatures you would get some acetylene, e.g. by passing a stream of methane over a bed of red-hot carbon :\nC(s)   +   CH4(g)   --->   2 C2H2(g)\n\nNote that the equation you wrote is balanced.  But just because you have a balanced equation, that doesn't mean the reaction is feasible.

Crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons.  They are separated at various temperatures called fractional distillation.\n\nThe lightest components are natural gas (methane), butane and the like.  These distill out first  (used for heating + cooking).\n\nThen gasoline distills out (used in cars - commonly called gas).\n\nKerosene follows (used as aircraft fuel)\n\nDiesel continues    (used in heavy trucks)\n\nHeavy industrial oil distills out next (uses for lube and oil burners)\n\nParrafin wax is one of the last to distill (used in candles and cosmetics)\n\nFinally, the stuff that makes oil black -asphalt- stays as the undistillable residue of the oil.  Asphalt is used for making... you guessed it... asphalt roads.\n\nFor more info \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_refinery
