Petroleum Gas is the least common refined product out of 4 products the player can produce from the oil refinery using crude oil. Much like other products, the gas can be processed into higher grade/energy fuels. It is also a important fluid in the production of LPG, polymer/bakelite, fracking solution, etc.
Petroleum Gas is a flammable, combustible, polluting gas with a gaseous fuel grade, providing 1.65 MTU and 2.47 MHE per bucket.

Trivia
- Blocks of gas shale found on oil deposits can also be used to produce petroleum gas, each block containing about 250mB of the gas each.
