Major Products

Petroleum products are usually grouped into three categories: light distillates (LPG, gasoline, naphtha), middle distillates (kerosene, diesel), heavy distillates and residuum (heavy fuel oil, lubricating oils, wax, asphalt). This classification is based on the way crude oil is distilled and separated into fractions (called distillates and residuum) as in the above drawing.[2]

  • Liquified petroleum gas (LPG)
  • Gasoline (also known as petrol)
  • Naphtha
  • Kerosene and related jet aircraft fuels
  • Diesel fuel
  • Fuel oils
  • Lubricating oils
  • Paraffin wax
  • Asphalt and tar
  • Petroleum coke

Oil refineries also produce various intermediate products such as hydrogen, light hydrocarbons, reformate and pyrolysis gasoline. These are not usually transported but instead are blended or processed further on-site. Chemical plants are thus often adjacent to oil refineries. For example, light hydrocarbons are steam-cracked in an ethylene plant, and the produced ethylene is polymerized to produce polyethene.
