Oilfield to Petrol Station



Oil is the main recourse in the UAE which supports our economy. Transporting oil from oil well to petrol station is a hard process and it needs time and a lot of work. In this essay I will describe the stages from the discovery of oil to the sale of petrol in the filling station.


First, the oil is located underground in desert and under the ocean or sea. Next, the oil is pumped through large pipelines to refineries. After that it is stored in huge storage tanks. Then it is refined into many different products like residuum, heavy gas oil, Kerosene, and petrol. After that the petrol is stored in different types of tanks. Next, it is transported to different petrol stations where it is stored in underground tanks. Finally it is pumped into customers cars tanks.


In summary these steps are not easy and they cost lots of money but, this is how my car gets its petrol.
