3. The word petroleum comes from the Latin petra, meaning “rock,” and
oleum, meaning “oil.”
Petroleum is the product of natural changes in organic materials over millions of
years ago..
Petroleum is formed by hydrocarbons with the addition other substances, primarily
sulphur.
Originally the primary use of petroleum was as a lighting fuel.
4. it is flammable, yellow-to-black color mixture of gaseous, liquid,
and solid hydrocarbons that happen naturally under the earth's
surface, can be divided into fractions including natural gas,
gasoline, oil , kerosene, fuel and , paraffin wax, and asphalt.

7. Organic theory
95% on scientist believe this theory :
crude oil contains chlorophyll (Chlorophyll derivatives) and derivatives (Alhman)
that Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants either the (Hemin) is the animal's blood
pigment.
In 1934 he found the world (Treibs) that chlorophyll derivatives more than thirty times the
derivative (Alhman) has therefore been suggested to create a plant-based oil and to the
large number of chlorophyll derivatives in the crude oil.
In (1962) could the world (Mair) from isolated nuclei and this nucleus are found in living
organisms only, it means that the oil may be out of living organisms came the discovery.

8. Many scientists believe that the origin of the oil is not a living organism, but
its origin element carbon and certain carbon compounds inorganic
compound calcium carbide for CaC2 example where he gripped the
element carbon and its compounds, which were filled land of old, chemical
changes have resulted in such a huge mixture of hydrocarbons and other
organic compounds constituent Petroleum.

9. There are 2 stages of migration:
Side Migration: is the migration of oil from the rocks of
origin to the storage rocks under the impact of
increased pressure.
Vertical migration: is the oil movement vertically to the
highest possible due to (vertical) and the presence of
cleft.(figure:1)
11. Accumulation of Petroleum
Accumulation and storage happen when the migrating fluids encounter
an impermeable shale or dense layer of rock.(figure 2)&(figure 3)
After accumulation, the fluids tend to stratify according to their
relative densities:
Gas
Oil
Water
13. There are three basic types of traps
1-Anticlinal traps: result of compression of strata and are the most common
traps. The largest oil and gas fields of the world are in anticline and dome.
Anticline trap
14. 2-Faults. These traps are formed when rocks subjected to tensile
strength, pressure, and thus crack the rocks and crevasses do this on
a non-permeable layers in the face of oil-bearing layers, which leads
to lack of movement and stored in the trap .
Fault trap

16. 3-Stratigraphic traps: those where impermeable strata seal the permeable
reservoir. It is formed by changes in rock type unconformity, or sedimentary features
such as reefs. stratigraphic trap, different within the rock layer themselves (e.g., a change
in the local porosity and permeability of the reservoir rock, a change in the kinds of
rocks laid down, or a termination of the reservoir rock) play the important role. The
stratigraphic variations associated with the reservoir rocks are the main influence on the
areal extent of the reservoirs in these traps.
17. Refining petroleum
Refining petroleum is the process of converting crude oil into more useful produce .
Crude oil comes out of the ground with impurities, from sulfur to sand. These
components have to be separated. This is done by heating the crude oil in a
distillation tower that has trays and temperatures set at different levels. Oil’s
hydrocarbons and metals have different boiling temperatures, and when the oil is
heated, vapors from the different elements rise to different levels of the tower
before condensing back into a liquid on the tiered trays.
Propane, kerosene, and other components condense on different tiers of the tower,
and can be individually collected. They are transported by pipeline, ocean vessels,
and trucks to different locations .

petroleum contain many elements the key compounds are carbon (83% – 87%),
hydrogen (10% - 14%), nitrogen (0.1% - 2%), oxygen (01.% - 1.5%) and sulphur
(0.5% - 6%) with a few metals making up a very small percentage of the
petroleum composition.

20. Petroleum-composition
The exact molecular composition varies widely from formation to
formation but the proportion of chemical elements vary over fairly
narrow limits as follows:
Composition by weight
Element Percent range
Carbon 83 to 87%
Hydrogen 10 to 14%
Nitrogen 0.1 to 2%
Oxygen 0.1 to 1.5%
Sulfur 0.06 – 2%
Metals 0.1%

21. High Energy Density oil has one of the highest energy
densities which means that a small amount of oil can produce
a large amount of energy.
Constant Power Source and Reliability - Unlike solar and
wind energy, oil can produce power 24/7 and is highly
reliable. Oil engines are a mature technology and highly
reliable to work with.
We use petroleum in different industry (Dyes - Pharmacy-
Agriculture)ect…
22. Disadvantages of petroleum :
Pollution of Water and Earth :Oil Spills have caused massive pollution of water bodies
as huge oil supertankers lead oil. This leads to the death of thousands of animals and
fishes every year beside damage the local ecology..(figure 4)
Greenhouse Gas Emissions : One of the biggest Disadvantages of Oil is that it emission
Carbon Dioxide.(figure5)
Figure 4 : Pollution of Water and Earth Figure 5 : Greenhouse Gas Emissions
23. Growth in Terrorism and Violence due to the desire of powerful countries to obtain
more oil and control the largest oil reservoirs in the world.
Emission of Harmful Substances like Sulfur Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Acid
Rain such as Sulfur Dioxide which cause health danger among the population
(figure 6) Emission of Harmful Substances
24. Transportation of petroleum
Pipelines
Oil pipelines are made from steel. They usually have an inner diameter of about
10 to 120 cm (about 4 to 48 inches) and can run for hundreds or thousands of
kilometers. Advances in technology are constantly improving the size and
strength of these pipelines.
26. Roads and railway
Oil products are also transported from storage
centres to distribution areas on specialized
railway tankers and trucks. These are large,
long and have special storage units to protect
against accidents.
28. Ocean tankers
Oil tankers are large, specialized ocean going ? ships specifically built to carry unrefined?
Crude oil from one part of the world to another. They ? usually carry oil from where it is
produced to ? where it is refined and consumed? Oil tankers are? classified by their size,
which can ? range from small coastal tankers to ultra large ? crude carrier The largest ?
tankers often travel from the Gulf region and West ?Africa to Japan and other Asian
countries. Other ? tankers travel to the northeastern United ? States and to countries across
the ? Mediterranean region.
30. Conclusions
Petroleum is one of the most important natural sources of different industry and sources economy
Crude oils are complex mixtures containing many different hydrocarbon compounds that vary in
appearance and composition from one oil field to another
petroleum and gas accumulation are found between the surface and depth levels of about 6000 to
7000 meters and deeper.
petroleum and gas must move through pores saturated with water at fluid pressures ranging
between 100 bar and 1400 bar and at temperatures from about 50 C° to about 250 C°.
a trap is geological feature which enables migration petroleum to accumulate and be preserved for
a certain time interval . a traps occur in fundamentally different forms.
the petroleum is the source of non-renewable,we consume can not be compensated quickly,need
to configure a period of time ranging from 5 to 100 million years old,so you must economize in
consumption so as not to lose it
