Petroleum is commonly referred to as “black gold” given its critical importance as an energy source across all sectors of the economy, playing an instrumental role in global development. Upon extraction, crude oil undergoes refinement, resulting in various products, primarily utilized as fuels, such as petrol and diesel for transportation, jet fuel for aviation, heating oil for industrial and residential use, and liquid petroleum gas (LPG). Additionally, petroleum serves as a key ingredient in the production of asphalt, waxes, and lubricants.
