Crude oil
Mixture of hydrocarbons present in natural underground reservoirs in the liquid phase; recoverable at typical atmospheric temperature and pressure Viscosity is <10,000 centipoises at reservoir conditions (extraheavy oil and natural bitumen have higher viscosity)
Fossil Fuels
Fossil fuels are fund resources Well developed technologies are available for exploiting fossil fuels to produce energy services converting into various other forms of energy ameliorating effects of fossil fuel use on environment Fossil fuel use Meet 80% of worlds energy needs (thermal power plants, captive power in industry, steam generation, transportation Feed stock for chemicals and plastics
Fuel Coal Oil Natural gas Hydroelectric nuclear
Air pollution from combustion of fossil fuels: Comparison (kg of emissions/TJ energy)
Pollutant Nitrogen oxides Sulfur dioxide Particulate matter Natural gas <43 <0.3 <2 Oil <142 <430 <36 Coal <359 <731 <1333
Oil properties
Specific gravity Viscosity Pour point: the lowest temperature at which oil will flow under standard pressure conditions Flash point: the lowest temperature at which oil can be ignited
Lignite is low ranking coal and anthracite high rank coal (% fixed carbon increases and % volatile matter decreases) Anthracite has 86% fixed carbon - bituminous coal 46-86% (20-40% VM) - lignite 30% moisture & high VM (peat has up to 90% moisture)

Two types of reserves: land based and off-shore At the current rate of production the reserves last for 40 years Between 1996-99 oil reserves have reduced by 2.7%, but Africa and South America have experienced 4% increase Since 1990 discovered reserves are lesser than oil production
Only 62% between 1990-94 Only 52% between 1995-99
Refining of oil
Light fraction: gasoline, aviation fuel, kerosene, LDO, HSD (high speed diesel), heavy diesel oil and lubrication oil for transportation, powering machines and residential uses) Heavier fraction as boiler fuel and in chemical production

A cleaner fossil fuel and offers at least partial solution to climate change and poor air qaulity
Once considered as waste product of oil production Free from ash and releases no SPM and less of NOx and SO2 Combustion can be complete and produces little smoke Contains volatile paraffins (methane to pentane) has high Hydrogen to Carbon ratio - produces high amount of water vapour Heat of combustion is 33.5-40MJ/Nm3 and SG is 0.63 of air
Emits lesser quantities of GHGs (20% lesser than oil and 50% lesser than coal)
During processing and compressing the gas During transmission and distribution as fugitive emissions Deliberate blow-down or release during maintenance operations During day-to-day operations while combusting
Can play an important energy transition role Can bridge the current fossil energy with the future noncarbon emitting renewable energy
Handling of acid gas generated from stripping of natural gas (to obtain marketable gas)
can be disposed through re-injection into suitable underground formation or depleted reservoir)
Advanced and cheap liquified natural gas technology is needed to facilitate transport
only 25% of production is exported as LNG in 1999 about 20% of the production goes unutilized)
