Petroleum (or crude oil) is a complex, naturally occurring liquid mixture containing mostly hydrocarbons, but containing also some compounds of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur. It is often referred to as the “black gold.” The elemental composition of petroleum is much less variable than that of coal: 83-87% carbon, 11-16% hydrogen, 0-4% oxygen plus nitrogen, and 0-4% sulfur. Note that most crude oils contain substantially more hydrogen than coals. Only a brief discussion is needed here regarding the distribution of these elements among the thousands of compounds found in petroleum. Most of the compounds in petroleum contain from five to about twenty carbon atoms. Many of them consist of straight chains of carbon atoms (surrounded by hydrogen atoms). Petroleum utilization is a much more complex process than coal utilization.
