Well, recently I found out petroleum doesn’t really come from dinosaur bones but then, why have those bones been found near petroleum.

I’m African American, by the way. Is petroleum supposed to be good or bad for your hair? These products are supposed to help promote hair growth and well as help thicken hair from thinning and shedding and things in that nature.

Oil drilling is the commercial activity of drilling for, and exploiting subterranean petroleum or hydrocarbon resources. For decades there has been a federal moratorium on new offshore oil drilling for much of the continental United States. In September 2008, under pressure by high oil prices and the status of drilling as a Presidential campaign issue, [...]

Can anyone find me an exhaustive list of petroleum percentages in consumer products, such as aspirin or other synthetic medications / foods?

What about the atoms in natural gas makes it less dense than petroleum? I know that they are both a form of natural gas. This is only a theory of mine, but is petroleum more dense than natural gas because it is a hydrocarbon?

From an article I just read:" the first real glimpse of transportation that doesn’t rely on petroleum." I don’t live by the Hoover Dam or in Holland. All my electric comes from burning fossil fuels. If my electric came from burning just diesel fuel, how much crude would be saved by owning [...]

Hi all, I’ve had troubled lips for a while, I used to pick at them, and when I stopped I decided to use balms like Blistex and Carmex to keep them moist so they don’t look as bad while they’re healing.

I read an article recently that used frying oil can be used as a fuel for cars – with a few engine modifications. Now here is a win – win situation: car owners get free fuel while restaurant owners get rid of their old cooking oil. And, no drilling, oil tankers, or money [...]

Once the gas prices started to ease up, the government forgot about this until today where gas is 3/gallon some places like cali is reaching 4 dollars. the [...]

Please show references or proof of your claim.
Thanks but those do not have the efficiencies of refining petroleum. I am looking a percentage of usable energy after refining over total energy before refining.
You know, analogous to the ‘refining’ efficiency of hydrogen from water, 80-94% (6-20% loss due to inefficiencies, heat, etc.).

I am in school right now and i just cant decide what I want to specialize in when it comes to engineering. I have it narrowed down to biomedical, mechanical, and petroleum. If anyone has some experience in any of these fields can you please give me some insight

I have to demonstrate the effects of petroleum in the environment, mainly the air. I was thinking about doing something like burning some of the byproducts and then discussing the amount of toxic chemicals that are released into the air, or maybe doing something about how petroleum contributes to acid rain.

Can you find the same chemicals that are in petroleum in the byproducts of petroleum, or do they somehow filter them out?

Putin has decried the recent plummet of natural gas and crude oil prices and has attempted to reach out to natural gas exporting countries to develop a cartel system similar to OPEC.
Natural gas has been highly regarded as an abundant source of liquid fossil fuel to supplement petroleum use in Europe and the United [...]

Well, I’m assuming we stopped using it after the discovery of petroleum, anyway. I’m not sure when we actually did stop using waste.

Or any other product that is like it but without the Petroleum. The vicks vapo rub helps open up my lungs when I can’t breathe,but I don’t like the fact that it has petroleum in it. Please let me know if there is anything.Thanks a lot!!!
