Petroleum Gas


Petroleum gas is the least common byproduct that can be acquired from refining crude oil. It can be used in many things and can also be acquired from many ways other than refining oil, being also burnable as it is a fuel gas.

For more information on how to process oil, see: Guide: Petroleum Processing

Trivia

  • It is a form of natural gas that is found on deposits of petroleum, either dissolved in the oil or as a free "gas cap" above the oil in the reservoir.
  • Petroleum gas is primarily a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules that are classified as "alkanes".
