PETROLEUM
Presented by: Group 6
Petroleum reserves found
throughout the world we re
form ed millions of years ago
when microscopic orga nism s
died and were quickly
covered with mud and
sediment. Petroleum pum pe d
from the ground is called
crude oil.
Based on differences in the boiling
points of its components, crude oil
can be separated into gas, gasoline,
kerosene, heating oil, and
lubricating oil. The residue from
this process is used to produce
asphalt and paraffin wax. Petroleum
has an extremely high energy
content for its mass. When burned,
a large amount of chem ical energy
is released.
Over the years, the Philippines has grown highly dependent
on petroleum-based products. Unfortunately, domestic oil
alone cannot meet our energy needs. The Philippines has
had a history of fluctuating dependence on foreign oil.
During the late 1970s, net imports reached a peak of 46.5%
of the total petroleum products supplied. Imports dropped
to 27.3% of the total supplied in 1985. It is interesting to
note that this pattern corresponds to world oil prices during
the same periods.
FORMULATION OF
PETROLEUM
Petroleum, or crude oil, is
formed from the remains of
ancient marine organisms
such as plants, algae, and
bacteria. Over millions of
years, these organic remains
undergo intense heat and
pressure, transforming into
carbon-rich substances.
This process takes place in geological formations
and involves the conversion of organic material
into hydrocarbons through a process called
catagenesis. The organic material is buried under
layers of sediment and plant debris, transforming
into a waxy substance called kerogen. With
increased heat and pressure, the kerogen converts
into hydrocarbons, including petroleum. .

FACTS
It's important to note that petroleum, like coal and natural gas,
is a nonrenewable source of energy. It took millions of years
to form, and once it is extracted and consumed, it cannot be
replaced. Oil supplies will eventually run out, and experts
predict that the world will reach "peak oil," the highest
production level, possibly by 2050. Finding alternatives to
petroleum is crucial for global energy use and is a focus of
many industries.
