Yes, oil is a non-renewable resource, and oil prices will only rise in the future. First, the first thing to understand is that the international oil price is not equal to the market price. The international crude oil price is a futures price, which affects the future oil price, not the current oil price.

Petroleum refers to the mixture of natural gaseous, liquid and solid hydrocarbons. Petroleum is divided into crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquid and natural tar, but it is customary to use "oil" as the definition of "crude oil".

Petroleum is a thick dark brown liquid, which is called "industrial blood". There are oil reserves in some parts of the upper crust. The main components are mixtures of alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. It is one of the main targets of geological exploration.

There are two theories about the mechanism of petroleum formation: biological deposition and petrochemical formation. The former is widely accepted that oil is formed by the long evolution of organisms in ancient oceans or lakes, which belongs to biological deposition and cannot be regenerated. The latter thinks that oil is generated by carbon in the earth's crust, which has nothing to do with living things and is renewable. Petroleum is mainly used as fuel oil and gasoline, and it is also the raw material of many chemical industrial products, such as solutions, fertilizers, pesticides and plastics.

The ancient Egyptians and Babylonians developed and utilized oil a long time ago. The Chinese name "Petroleum" was first named by Shen Kuo, a scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Introduction:

The nature of petroleum varies from place of origin, with a density of 0.8-1.0g/cm3, a wide viscosity range and a great difference in freezing point (30-60℃). Its boiling point ranges from normal temperature to over 500℃, and it is soluble in various organic solvents and insoluble in water, but it can form an emulsion with water. But the composition and appearance of oil in different oil fields can be very different. Petroleum is mainly used as fuel oil and gasoline, which constitutes one of the most important secondary energy sources in the world.

Petroleum is also the raw material of many chemical industrial products, such as solvents, fertilizers, pesticides and plastics. 88% of the oil produced by 20 12 is used as fuel, and the other 12% is used as chemical raw materials. In fact, oil is a non-renewable raw material.
