The possible steps through which petrol comes to you are as follows:
- Exploration: Oil companies explore for crude oil deposits using geological surveys and drilling to find viable oil fields.
- Extraction: Crude oil is extracted from the ground using drilling rigs.
- Transportation: The crude oil is transported to refineries via pipelines, tankers, or trucks.
- Refining: At the refinery, the crude oil is processed and refined into petrol through distillation and other chemical processes.
- Distribution: The refined petrol is transported to storage terminals and then to gas stations via tanker trucks.
- Retail: Petrol is sold to consumers at gas stations for use in vehicles.
This process ensures petrol reaches consumers through a well-organized supply chain from exploration to retail.
