Keep in mind that OPEC and other oil-producing countries like Russia have all built refineries in order to sell oil products processed from their country’s secure supply of domestic crude oil. The exporters, OPEC and NON-OPEC all want and often insist that the Oil importing nations and Multinational OILCO’s buy their products rather than their [...]

The pipeline or barge operator?
The refiner?
The crude oil E+P company?
The oil services companies that lease drilling equipment and/or perform drilling services [...]

Looks like BP finally put the 150,000 lbs lid on the leak! Hope they really stopped the leak and didn’t start somewhere else. What’s next? How are they going to clean-up the floating crude oil from the ocean surface?

I mean is the best use of crude oil as a fuel or a petrochemical?
I’ve heard that the oil peak is going to be reached this or next year. And from here the amount of crude is going down. After all this is finished up, what will humans use? Crude is so reliable and easy to use. I can’t imagine a world with people relying on light and water [...]
With oil prices on the rise I am wondering at what price per barrell of crude oil will alternatives be cheaper.
I know that if it does evaporate that it would not condense into crude oil but I’m pretty sure that the hydrocarbon chains might bond with water or at least recombine into other maybe toxic forms form droplets like rain.
Gasoline is produced from crude oil,a nonrenewable resource. Ethanol is mixed with gasoline to produced a fuel called gasohol. Calculate the mass (in grams) of water produced when 66.89 g of ethanol is burned in 56.51 g of oxygen.

Crude oil is heated to about 1250 degrees farenheit. It still doesnt catch fire. I understand that gasoline is ‘derived’ from crude and am not confusing the two. Still, the crude oil has enough flammability to catch fire if it touches a direct flame. Yet, it withstands boiling upto such high temperatures. How? Why?
If they do this how will the deman for crude oil change?
the first source provides crude oil that is 55% hydrocarbons.
The second one provides oil that is 95% hydrocarbons. In order to obtain 40 gallons of crude oil that is 90% hydrocarbons, how many gallons of crude oil must be used from each of the two sources?
I’m particularly interested in the term "opportunity". I found some info about opportunity crude oil, I know what it means but I have to translate it into French or any other language and it seems impossible to do it…I thought maybe a synonym would help…Thanks!
gold. I just searched on –> "red colored crude oil" with the quotes in and I got ZERO hits. Does it mean the oil is "young" or what?
Thanks Strato, that does sound nasty. Seems the poor Gulf is catching it from all directions.
Just like Gold has GLD ETF, is there any ETF for Crude Oil that I can buy?
