Crude oil C016 / 9780
Crude oil being poured. Crude oil is oil from the ground before it has been refined. It contains a varied mixture of hydrocarbons that can be separated out (refined) by heating. Products obtained from crude oil include bitumen, fuel oil, lubricating oils, diesel, jet fuel, petrol, and petroleum gas. Crude oil is also used in plastics production

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of crude oil, as it is poured in all its unrefined glory. The thick, viscous liquid cascades down against a pristine white background, showcasing the raw material that fuels our modern world. Crude oil, extracted from deep within the earth's surface before undergoing refinement processes, contains a diverse mixture of hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons can be separated and transformed into an array of valuable products through heating techniques. From bitumen to fuel oil, lubricating oils to diesel, jet fuel to petrol, and even petroleum gas - this versatile substance plays a crucial role in various industries. The chemistry behind crude oil is complex yet fascinating; it serves as a fundamental compound for countless applications. Its significance extends beyond mere fuel production as it also finds utility in plastics manufacturing. Through this studio shot by VICTOR DE SCHWANBERG/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we are reminded of the immense power held within this fossil fuel resource. As we gaze upon the mesmerizing flow of crude oil depicted here, we are prompted to contemplate both its potential and environmental impact.
