Difference Between Oil And Petroleum

oil-cansOil vs Petroleum

The meaning of the terms Oil & Petroleum is greatly debated on the net. However, we will go with the meanings given in the oxford dictionary. As per the dictionary Petroleum is a hydrocarbon oil found in the upper strata of the earth. This is refined for use as fuel. The term oil means any of various viscous usually inflammable liquids insoluble in water.

As per the above petroleum generally refers to crude oil extracted from the earth whereas the term oil broadly covers all types of oils like vegetable, cooking, lubrication, engine, etc. However, this does not cover petrol as the viscosity is missing.

In normal everyday usage the term oil is also used for crude oil especially when talking of the discovery or find of a new spot. One would always hear statements like ‘oil has been discovered in Arabia.’ It would rarely be mentioned that Crude or Petroleum has been discovered. Oil in this context even covers the term Petroleum.

This usage, however, cannot really be implied as you would go to a store and ask for oil whenever you want Motor Oil or even cooking oil but you will never mean crude oil. The term oil would also include various oils produced from animal extracts like fish oil and emu oil. Use of the term petroleum would be limited to crude oil or its derivatives. It would not vegetable or animal oils or anything that is not a derivative of crude oil.

Summary:
1. The term Petroleum as per the dictionary stands for crude oil however the term oil stands for any viscous substance usually inflammable and insoluble in water.
2. The term oil would also cover any vegetable or animal oils or any other oils derived from any source however the usage of the perm Petroleum would be limited to crude oil or its derivatives.

  1. sorry that wa my little brother

  2. How do I make Octane gasoline from (Limestone or Potash Rock), Hydro-Chloric acid and electricity?
    1] Chemically react the 8 parts of Hydro-Chloric acid (HCl) with 8 parts of Calcium CARBONate (Limestone CaCO3)! This emits 8 parts Carbon (Methane). 8 parts Hydrogen and 24 parts Oxygen! Common salt and rocks convert into Jet fuel!
    2] Electrically convert those 8 Methane gases into 4 Ethane gases! 8C = 4x2C!
    3] Electrically convert those 4 Ethane gases into 2 Butane gases! 4x2C = 2x4C!
    4] Electrically convert those 2 Butane gases into 1 Octane gas! 2x4C = 1x8C!
    5] Condense that Octane gas into Octane gasoline! 8C=8C! Common salt and rocks convert into Jet fuel!

    I know how to “electrically convert” gases so they double in mass! This proceedure can be commercially repeated so we’ll profit from 1) Port au Ports’ Calcium CARBONate (Limestone) 2) NfLb’s below Hybernia salt reserves, 3) Churchill river electricity, and from the South Coast powerful ocean waves electricity 4) NfLb workforce experienced at exploration, drilling and exploitation of bitumen and 5) my inventative idea & work experience!

    The carbons need only share the molecule, not to be in the same atom! Gasoline already exists! If it were that simple Geo-Scientists would have thought of the idea by now! But its’ not in their interest ($) to defeat OPEC! A refiner takes it as his normal job to convert a crude oil molecule into several lighter gasoline molecules!

    My phone # is (709-834-9700) but a local St. John’s phone call! My email can’t be accessed by me, so phone me!

    I believe there may be several limestone formations buried below our feet over the expance of NfLb.! If buried too deep to mine them we can copy Suncor and get the Methane up some drilll holes! Once we have the Methane we must convert it into Octane gasoline, jet-fuel!

  3. Chemically react 8 Hydro Chloric acid with 8 Calcium CARBONate yielding 8 Methane gas & 3×8=24 Oxygen! The Petroleum industry will be smiled upon as a net producer of Oxygen! 3 – 2 = 1 Oxygen electrolysed free! The other 2 are still subject to photosynthesis, far stronger than regular is!
    Electrolyse those 8 Methane gas into 4 Ethane gas!
    Electrolyse those 4 Ethane gas into 2 Butane gas!
    Electrolyse those 2 Butane gas into 1 Octane gas!
    Condence that 1 Octane gas into 1 Octane gasoline!
    It’ll be the strongest fuel, far stronger

  4. NOVAOGAS’ SECRET FORMULA to make synthetic Octane gasoline:
    Dear sir, you know that, to make synthetic Octane gasoline from limestone, will both 1) decrease Carbon content of the gasoline from an average of 20 Carbons, to 8 (only 40% as much Carbon!) 2) Liberate 3x Oxygen as 1x Carbon (enough Oxygen to combust the Carbon + 50% extra)! Conventional gasoline, oil, production doesn’t produce any Oxygen! India and The P.R.C. need that Oxygen to breathe! The fresh Oxygen made by switching from a standard gasoline, weighing 20 Carbons heavy, to synthetic Octane gasoline, weighing only 8 Carbons heavy, holds 20×2 = -40 Oxygen heavy vs 8×3 = +24, -16 = + 8 Oxygen comes from the CaCO3 or KCO3, -40 vs (-16 +24) = +8 fresh Oxygen better to consume synthetic Octane gasoline than conventional gasoline! -40 or +8 Oxygen?
    It’s mathematically 48 Oxygen better to produce synthetic Octane gasoline than conventional petroleum! That’s the math how much fresh Oxygen is made by switching to synthetic Octane gasoline!
    To make gasoline from 8x limestone molecules, just …
    1) Chemically react 8x limestone, 8x(CaCO3), with 8x Hydro-Chloric acid, 8x(H2Cl) making 8x(C)arbon and 3×8 is 24x(O)xygen!
    2) Electrolyse those 8x Methane into 4x Ethane!
    3) Electrolyse those 4x Ethane into 2x Butane!
    4) Electrolyse those 2x Butane into 1x Octane!
    5) Condence that xOctane gas into xOctane gasoline!
    6) I CAN DO IT! You’ll defeat OPEC and get 40% of shares in my patent controling corporation for your funding this experiament while I’ll get 60% of the shares in my patent controlling corporation since it was my idea! Have your receptionist contact William Smallwood @ (0)01-709-834-9700
    You don’t have to worry about my inventive speed, BUT all those people on the Internet wanting to patent how to make oil from rock! You also have to worry about the firms I independently emailed! Financing this experiament is estimated to cost $5,000 – $20,000! You MAY still electrolyse 8x Methane gases into 1x synthetic Octane gasoline EVEN IF converting 8x Limestone or 8x Potash Rock into 1x synthetic Octane gasoline is too expensive!
    What I imagine doing is to first 1) try to chemically convert 8x Methane gas into 1x synthetic Octane gasoline, then secondly 2) try to convert 8x Limestone molecules, 8x(CaCO3), into 1x synthetic Octane gasoline, then thirdly 3) try to convert 8x Potash Rock molecules, 8x(KCO3), into 1x synthetic Octane gasoline!
    That was an offer I emailed to PetroChina but I make the same offer to you if you agree to it before someone else takes this offer! 8 barrels of limestone, 8x(CaCO3), + 8 barrels of Hydro-Chloric acid, 8x(H2Cl), MAKE 1 barrel of Octane gasoline selling for about $67, & 3×8=24 barrels of (liquid only so you can grasp the volume of Oxygen) Oxygen! You make the Hydro-Chloric acid by drilling a salt formation! The Chlorine is electrolysed with the Hydrogen from the saltwater (H20) making (H2Cl) & the Chlorine is electically separated from the salt (NaCl)! The salt is propelled up the drillwell by the gravity of the overbearing rock heading down!
    Octane gasoline is commonly referred to as JET FUEL! But modern automobiles can combust JET FUEL as regular gasoline since the gasoline is today injected into the combustion chamber! The Hydro-Chloric acid is really inexpensive to make after you drilled the expensive well down to the bottom of the salt structure! Then you have all of the inputs to make Hydro-Chloric acid! And the salt (NaCl) is blowing out of the drill hole with the weight of the rock – the weight of the salt!

  5. NovaOGas Ltd to sell 40% of equity to Suncor Energy for paying the patent experiament costs, $5,000 – $15,000, making synthetic Octane gasoline from 1) 8 Methane gas, 8(C), 2) 8 Calcium Carbonate, 8(CaCO3), and 3) 8 Potassium Carbonate, 8(KCO3)! What will happen to the price of oil with 3 more ways of making gasoline from unconventional sources?

  6. Convert 8 Methane gases, into 4 Ethane gases! 8C – 4C2
    Then convert those 4 Ethane gases into 2 Butane gases! 4C2 – 2C4
    Then convert those 2 Butane gases into 1 Octane gas! 2C4 – 1C8
    Then condense that Octane gas into Octane gasoline or Jet Fuel!
    We electrolyse 8 flare gas into 1 Jet Fuel! Profitable?

    NL. can use this technology by drilling a well hole from the Avalon Peninsula to take Churchill River electricity under the Atlantic Ocean bottom towards Hibernia Offshore Oil Producing Platform and therefrom another well will go to Hebrun Offshore Oil Producing Platform!

    By using Labrador hydro-electricity those rigs can dispense with the motors aboard those Platforms and electrolyse their Methane into 1/8 as much Octane gasoline! We can get extra Methane gas by horizontally drilling East of their blocks into unclaimed territory!

  7. You can electrolyse 25 Cubic Feet of Methane gas into 1 Litre of synthetic Octane gasoline or Jet Fuel! At the standard price of $5/1,000 Cubic Feet the 25 Cubic Feet cost only 12.5 cents! That leaves the electricity to perform the electrolyse of the gas into gasoline!

  8. STOP GASOLINE PRICE RIOTS by

    ELECTROLYSING 25 cubic feet of METHANE GAS into OCTANE gasoline

    for 12.5 cents / litre
