  1. CRUDE OIL By: Aarya Mehta, Alexandra Llaguno, and Melinda Prasad

  2. Definition: Crude oil is "unprocessed oil", which is also known as petroleum. • - fossil fuel • - varies in color • - varies in viscosity • - contains hydrocarbon, which contains a lot of energy Crude Oil

  3. Carbon - 84% • Hydrogen - 14% • Sulfur - 1 to 3% (hydrogen sulfide, sulfides, disulfides, elemental sulfur) • Nitrogen - less than 1% (basic compounds with amine groups) • Oxygen - less than 1% (found in organic compounds such as carbon dioxide, phenols, ketones, carboxylic acids) • Metals - less than 1% (nickel, iron, vanadium, copper, arsenic) • Salts - less than 1% (sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride) Components of Crude Oil

  4. Toxicity • Exhaust • Acid Rain • Climate Change Environmental Impact

  5. Crude Oil Makes plenty of fuels: • Gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene etc • Makes almost all fertilizers and pesticides • Lastly, it makes tar, petroleum coke (solid fuel) Examples of how Crude Oil is Used

  6. Widely and easily distributed all over the world • Provides everyday products • Provides a constant source of power Advantages of Crude Oil

  7. Produces greenhouse emissions • Limited supply because it is a non-renewable source • Can harm marine life. Disadvantages of Crude Oil

  8. Historical Problems • Over the years the prices of oil has seen plenty of fluctuations. • Lead to political uprising and economic recovery • Countries fighting over crude oil • Importance to economy and military • Irregular geographic distribution • Past negative environmental issues • High amount of toxic levels

  9. Kuwait (Jan 21, 1991): 378 Million Gallons Hurricane Katrina (2005): 7.98 Million Gallons Deepwater Horizon (April 20, 2010): Ongoing Major Oil Spills

  10. The consumption rate is increasing due to population growth and technology. Since it is a non-renewable source, the heavy reliance on oil makes it difficult to reduce consumption. • Oil spills and extraction cause environmental harm • The combustion of the oil releases fine particles which lead to serious respiratory problems. • Crude oil is responsible for approximately 40% of greenhouse emissions in the U.S. Recent Problems

  11. Inspect for damage and leaks in equipment each year. • On the boat, check to see that all fuel lines and hoses are in good conditions and that seals and connections are tight. • Examine oil tank, pipes and supply lines for corrosion or over pressure • Replace all damaged parts with new fittings • Carpool and drive only when it is necessary because this will help to reduce transportation emissions Solutions
