Mining of Petroleum, Cracking of Oil (55x90cm)

The “Mining of Petroleum, Cracking of Oil” (55x90 cm) educational chart provides a comprehensive visual summary of both petroleum extraction and the key refining process known as cracking, presented in a large, clearly labeled format for classroom or laboratory training.​

Main Features of the Chart

Format: Multicolor printing on laminated 55x90 cm paper, designed for educational use.​

Mining of Petroleum:

Illustrates oil exploration, drilling, and extraction, often depicting a wellbore penetrating oil-rich strata.​

Shows oil rigs/platforms, the role of permeability and porosity, collection of crude oil, and subsequent transfer to refineries.​

Visualizes the flow of crude from underground reservoirs to surface collection and storage facilities.

Cracking of Oil:

Diagrams the breakdown of large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller, more valuable products like gasoline and diesel via thermal, steam, or catalytic cracking.​

Details equipment such as cracking units/reactors, separators, and fractionators.​

Differentiates types of cracking:

Thermal cracking (using heat/pressure)

Catalytic cracking (using catalysts to improve product yield/quality)​

Steam cracking (especially in petrochemical feedstock production)​

Accompanying notes or legends on the poster explain:

The chemistry and purpose of the cracking process (converting heavy crude oil fractions into lighter, more desirable products)

Typical products obtained, such as gasoline, LPG, diesel, and petrochemical feedstocks​

Educational Utility

Designed to teach students the full journey of petroleum from extraction to value-added products via cracking, integrating geoscience, chemistry, and industrial technology.​

Helps in understanding the significance of refining and modern energy supply chains.

This chart serves as an engaging, clear instructional aid for high school or college-level chemistry, earth science, or technology courses.
