Uses for Gas, Oil and Petroleum
Petroleum is used as a fuel and as a raw material in the chemical
industry. Modern industrial societies use it primarily to fuel vehicles on
land, at sea, and in the air. In addition, petroleum and its derivatives are
used in the manufacture of medicines and fertilizers, foodstuffs, plastics,
building materials, paints, and cloth and to generate electricity. The
chemical composition of all petroleum is principally hydrocarbons, and the
consistency of petroleum varies from liquid as thin as gasoline to a very
thick liquid.
Natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel consisting primarily of methane but
including significant quantities of ethane, propane, butane, pentane, carbon
dioxide, nitrogen, helium and hydrogen sulfide. Natural gas is a major
source of electricity generation through the use of gas turbines and steam
turbines. Natural gas can be used to produce hydrogen- a primary feedstock
for the chemical industry, a hydrogenating agent, an important commodity for
oil refineries, and a fuel source in hydrogen vehicles. Natural gas is also
supplied to homes, where it is used for such purposes as cooking. Natural
gas is also used in the manufacture of fabrics, glass, steel, plastics,
paint, and other products.
All oils, with their high carbon and hydrogen content, can be traced back to
organic sources or space. Through various geochemical processes material is
converted to mineral oil and its components, such as kerosene, paraffin
waxes, gasoline, diesel and such. Oils are used as fuels for heating,
lighting, powering engines and so on. They are also used for lubrication and
in paints.
The Gas, Oil and Petroleum industries
Crude oil is perhaps the most useful and versatile raw material that has
become available for exploitation. By 2003 worldwide consumption of
petroleum was 29.3 billion barrels per year. Consumption is currently around
84 million barrels per day, or 3.6 km³ per year. Because the energy return
over energy invested ratio of oil is constantly falling as petroleum
recovery gets more difficult, recoverable oil reserves are significantly
less than total oil-in-place. At current consumption levels, and assuming
that oil will be consumed only from reservoirs, known recoverable reserves
would be gone around 2039, potentially leading to a global energy crisis.
However, there are factors which may extend or reduce this estimate,
including the rapidly increasing demand for petroleum in China, India, and
other developing nations; new discoveries; energy conservation and use of
alternative energy sources; and new economically viable exploitation of
non-conventional oil sources.
