Oil and petroleum products

Overview of the Petroleum Refining Process

Petroleum refining is an industrial process in which crude oil is transformed into useful products through several stages:

Fractional Distillation: Crude oil is heated in a distillation tower, separating it into different fractions based on their boiling points.

Conversion: Processes such as catalytic and thermal cracking are used to break down large molecules into lighter, more valuable products.

Treating and Purification: Impurities such as sulfur are removed through hydrotreating and other chemical processes.

Blending and Finishing: Different products are combined to meet quality specifications before distribution.

Resulting Products

Importance of Refined Products in the Global Economy

Petroleum products are essential to the functioning of the global economy, driving various industries and economic activities. Their importance lies in:

Transportation and Logistics

Gasoline and diesel are essential for vehicles, trucks, trains, and ships, ensuring trade and the mobility of goods and people.
Jet fuel enables the operation of air transport, which is key to tourism and international trade.

Industry and Production

Fuel oil is used in power generation and industrial processes.
Lubricants and asphalt are necessary for machinery maintenance and road construction.
LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is used in homes, restaurants, and industry as an energy source.

Power Generation

Many thermal power plants use petroleum-derived fuels to produce electricity in countries without sufficient renewable infrastructure.

Petrochemicals and Manufacturing

Petroleum is used to manufacture plastics, fertilizers, synthetic textiles, pharmaceuticals, and other key inputs for various industries.

Why are Refined Products and Crude Oil Traded on Global Financial Markets?

Refined products and crude oil are traded on global financial markets due to several factors:

Global Supply and Demand

Factors such as economic growth, geopolitical conflicts, and natural disasters can affect their availability and price.

Investment Strategy

Investors and companies use futures and options contracts to protect themselves against price fluctuations.

Politics and Regulation

OPEC decisions, environmental regulations, and energy policies impact their value.

Impact of the Dollar and the Global Economy

Since oil and its derivatives are traded in dollars, currency fluctuations affect their price.
Fuels are the engine of the global economy, and their stock market price reflects their impact on all industries.
