Petroleum processing
India has total reserves (proved & indicated) of 757 million metric tonnes of crude
oil and 1241 billion cubic metres of natural gas

Crude oil production during 2014-15 at 37.71 million metric tonnes

The refining capacity in the country is 187.386 million matric tonnes per
annum (MMTPA)

The consumption of petroleum products during 2014-15 was 141.785 million metric
tonnes

The country exported 59.13 million metric tonnes of petroleum products

 Crude Oil is a liquid mixture of thousands of organic
chemicals found underground. It is the result of
organic matter decaying over thousands of years;
hence the name fossil fuel

Crude oil is found all over the world and varies

tremendously in its density, aromatics, sulfur, and
metals content
The purpose of an oil refinery is to transform relatively
low value crude oil into high value products as
efficiently, profitably and environmental friendly way.
