One 42gal gallon barrel of crude oil yields:
19.5 gallons of gasoline
9.2 gallons of distillate fuel oil (diesel fuel and home-heating oil)
4.1 gallons of kerosene-type jet fuel
2.3 gallons of residual fuel oil (used in industry and marine transportation and for election power generation)
1.9 gallons liquefied refinery gases
1.9 gallons still gas
1.8 gallons coke
1.3 gallons asphalt and road oil
1.2 gallons petrochemical feedstock
0.5 gallons lubricants
0.2 gallons kerosene
0.3 gallons other (don't ask me, I have no clue  )
* The total volume of products made is 2.2 gallons greater than the original 42 gallons of crude oil, representing a processing gain. |
I see Google is your friend!!! Very good research. Now if we were trying to make PCMO, how much of a 55gal drum is crude? I'll save you the time - 35gals. - rest is additives.
Back to my point - do the math - $85/bbl for 19.5 gals of "product". Yes the sell the other stuff off, but their margins plumment on byproduct sales becasue the buyers know it is by-product! Also, the 0.3 gals that you are not sure about is the bad stuff -benzenes, tetras, etc.etc.etc.
