In Nicktropolis, players can create mixed potions by combining different ingredients such as berries, magic dust, and gems. These mixed potions have various effects such as increasing energy, granting temporary powers, or altering appearances. Players can experiment with different combinations to see what effects they produce.
Yes, the poem "Pimpernel Petroleum" was written by Brian Cant. It was part of the children's poetry collection "Shut Your Eyes and See" published in 1969. The poem is about a flower named Pimpernel who runs a petrol station and services vehicles like cars and buses.
"Black gold" is a colloquial term used to refer to oil, which is a valuable natural resource due to its importance in the global economy and its ability to generate significant wealth for countries that possess it.
Petroleum products include gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, heating oil, asphalt, and various petrochemicals used in products like plastics, fertilizers, and pharmaceuticals. These products are derived from crude oil through refining processes.
By fractional distillation.
It distils off as octane.
However, octane is a straight chain alkane. So to make octane combust/burn more efficiently, octane is then 'reformed' into petrol .
A mineral needs to be inorganic (no carbon in it and petroleum DEFINITELY has carbon) and a mineral also needs to be a solid and have a crystal structure, which only solids have. A2-out of curiosity and to learn more, I looked up "mineral" in Wikipedia. Certainly it should be a solid, crystalline, and have a defined chemical composition. Thus mixtures of minerals as often found are excluded, at least until separated. Interestingly, the Wiki article does mention organic minerals including hydrocarbons! A complication is that the term "mineral oil" is often used to describe liquids obtained from crude oil. These come under a separate Wikipedia heading for Mineral Oils. However it appears to strictly be a misnomer, some other name such as "Natural Non-Vegetable Oils" might be better but the present use of the term Mineral Oil is probably too well established.
Crude oil can be separated through a process called fractional distillation. This occurs in a refinery, where crude oil is heated to high temperatures. As the oil vapor rises through a vertical column, it cools, and different hydrocarbons condense at various temperatures. The column has trays or packing materials to facilitate separation based on boiling points. Lighter components like gases condense at the top, while heavier ones like bitumen collect at the bottom. This process exploits the differences in boiling points of hydrocarbons, allowing the extraction of various useful products such as gasoline, diesel, and lubricants from crude oil.
A fraction of kerosene formed during the process of distillation of crude oil. It is popularly used as an aircraft fuel.
An anticline is a type of geological formation that can trap and accumulate oil. It is a fold in the rock layers, typically shaped like an arch, with the oldest rocks in the center and younger rocks on the flanks. Oil companies are interested in anticlines because they have a higher chance of containing oil deposits that have migrated and become trapped in the fold. Therefore, locating an anticline can be a promising indicator for potential oil exploration and extraction.
OPEC was founded in 1960 to unify and coordinate the policies of oil-producing countries to ensure stable oil prices and a steady income for member countries. The founding members, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela, sought to reduce the influence of foreign oil companies and regain control over their resources. OPEC's mission was also to provide a forum for member countries to discuss and address common oil-related issues.
Good petroleum engineers make anywhere from 500,000 up to 10 -15 million a year. This just depends on how well they do with their companies.
The answer to your question is Petroleum Land Management, but very few colleges offer the degree, only major universities. You would have to check with whatever university you were interested in for the degree.
T-1) Stanford T-1) University of Texas 2) Texas A&M 3) Texas Tech
these schools are the big 4 and you should b able to get into at least t-tech

Petroleum engineering is a wanted job all around the world, especially in the Middle East and it would be recommended if you speak Arabic. To be a petroleum engineer isn't an easy job you're required to take chemistry, all math, physics, geology... Act. Therefore, if you are determined for this you can do it but you have to work hard.
Commonly, Petroleum is regarded as a very close synonym of Crude Oil. However, according to Britannica Encyclopedia, petroleum as a technical term encompasses: the liquid (crude oil), gaseous (natural gas), and viscous or solid forms (bitumen and asphalt).
Oil is called a fossil fuel because it is made from animals which died and were cemented in mud and heat many years ago. They turned into oil and a type of gas called methane thousands of years later. They are not actually fossils but the equivalent of them because they have been preserved by the mud and eventually turned into oil, a type of fuel.
NO. See Link. YES! From http://www.sustainablebusiness.com/index.cfm/go/news.feature/id/1363 Traditional foam "to-go" containers are made of polystyrene, while the clear plastic containers and bottles we see everywhere are made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene or polypropylene -- all petroleum-based plastic polymers. The ubiquitous paper coffee cup, and the paper take-out containers we see everywhere, also use a petroleum-based plastic coating to make them waterproof.
According to Green Seal, in 1997, 120 million pounds of foam polystyrene hinged containers were used in the U.S. food packaging industry and each American throws away an average of 100 polystyrene cups each year. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters recently estimated that last year Americans used 14.4 billion hot paper cups (placed end-to-end, this many cups would circle the world 55 times).
Not only do these plastic cups and take-out containers create garbage that ends up in the landfill for centuries to come (a polystyrene cup has an expected lifetime of over 500 years), they are made from non-renewable petrochemicals, and styrene, a key ingredient of polystyrene, is a suspected carcinogen and known hazardous substance.

Petroleum is a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels have many disadvantages:
One is that we use fossil fuels for like running our cars and providing electricity. So we use them for important things, but one day we will run out of fossil fuels and we will have to find replacements. In some places they do use things like windmills and water generator for electricity, but most places rely on them.
Another is that using fossil fuels is bad for the environment, and the pollution is causing global warming and climate change.
Oil is formed from the compressed remains of plankton. It is not made from fossils or considered a fossil, despite the name "fossil fuel". What actually happens is that, over millions of years the pressure from the ground would eventually turn it to a liquid. A liquid we call "oil".
yes... a really long time ago that's where people used to get oil from. They kill whales then do something to it.
Oil and gas are chemicals made from molecules containing just carbon and hydrogen. All living things are made of complex molecules of long strings of carbon atoms. Connected to these carbon atoms are others such as hydrogen and oxygen. A simple molecule, called methane (CH4), is the main component of natural gas.
Crude oil (oil obtained from the ground) is a sticky, gooey black stuff. It contains many different molecules, but all are made of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Crude oil is made to make many every day items. Some of these items are; dyes, deodorants, purses, basketballs, fishing rods, oil filters, insecticides, and perfumes.
