 Petroleum is a mixture of
hydrocarbons of great energetic value,
black in color, strong odor, lighter than
water, found naturally in underground
deposits in the upper strata of the
earth's crust; many times associated

with gas and water. its fractional
distillation gives products of great
industrial importance such as gasoline,
kerosene, tar, solvents, fertilizers,
polymers. etc. Which are of great
importance for life.

The main macro processes that

take place in large companies oil
companies are:

1. Exploration
2. Drilling
3. Production
4. refining
5. Storage
6. Transportation
7. distribution
8. marketing
 Hydrocarbon exploration is
the search by petroleum
geologists and geophysicists for
deposits of hydrocarbons,
particularly oil and natural gas,

Stage 1
identification of area of ​interest

Stage 2

Stage 3

 The drilling of the well
consists of making a hole from
the rotary movements that a drill
makes. In this process it they
inject fluids to extract the rock

extraction methods.
 Petroleum refining is a process that
includes fractioning and chemical
transformations of petroleum to
produce commercial derivatives. In

carried out through
pipelines. Dimensions called
