from the oilfield to petrol station















All of us have cars and to make them move we should fill it with petrol. Some people do not know where this petrol comes from and the process of oil to petrol. So I am going to write this process so everybody will know where the petrol comes from.





The oil is located under the ground in the desert and under the sea. So to get the oil from under the ground it is pumped thought the pipeline. After that the oil is stored in a huge storage tanks at a refinery. Then the oil is refined into different products like petrol, heavy gas oil, light gas oil, gasoline, diesel and kerosene. Then the petrol is stored in huge tanks. Then it is transported to petrol stations in huge trucks. It is stored in big underground tanks. Finally the petrol is pumped into car tanks when we buy it.





In conclusion, this is how petrol is refined from oil and gets into our cars.
