A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Crude oil and natural gas sources and properties

Crude oil and natural gas are the two primary feedstocks for the petroleum industry. Mastering their geological origins, physical properties (density, API gravity, sulfur content, calorific value), and the methods used to classify and assess them is essential for understanding refining processes and for answering exam questions on feedstock selection and process design.
