I have no professional connection to this industry, but I always think it's interesting to learn about technology that we use every day. Thanks for an interesting and very clear presentation !

What a fantastic video. Extremely informative and educational. What a great delivery and thorough explanation of how this process works. Earned a sub from me. Looking forward to your content. Thank you

Thank you for a good educational video. A lot of KZreadrs really don't seem to understand that most of the world uses the metric system, including the US military. Fortunately, a few have this in mind and either add or use both systems. Keep it in mind.

I’m a girl. I don’t even know why I’m here but this is so interesting.

You don't have to be a man to be interested in such stuff🤷‍♀️ I know a lot of women who are interested/who are working in this industry☺️

Maybe you're meant to be the next refinery engineer or process operator. Both great careers 😉

@@jrichdz I saw an ad on Indeed at a Sinclair Oil refinery for $40 an hour, which of course got me interested but also wondering how often explosions occur, cancer rates and overall what the potential long term health effects would be working around all that stuff?

After playing Factorio for a couple of hundred hours, I got a little curious about some of the processes and buildings in that game. Now I've found myself down a research rabbit hole on pumpjacks and refineries. Thanks for your clarity and simplified explanation of such an interesting process!

OMG .. out of all the fancy video on the same topic this video and explanation is truly the most clear, simple, and pragmatic explanation of how it works. GREAT JOB.

Really glad as a matter of education that I came across this video!!!

Bravo! That was short, clear, and informative. Thank you!

Good basic explanation of refining. 👍🏻 Crude Column does initial separation, bottom liquid goes to a vacuum column for further separation. Bottom liquid of vacuum column goes to the Coker. Middle draw from Crude column diesel, lubricants and such goes to other refinery sections for further processing, top liquid goes to a catalyst reformer for clean up then to storage for blending. There’s a lot more vapors off the top and liquids from middle of crude column to be used as an end product.

That's a great clarification Mr Kim. The description I gave is definitely a simplified version of the whole process.

Very good video. Roland you explain a complex process in a very understandable way!

Really well done. This made it easier to understand.

Thank you for explaining in easier language. ❤

Great explanation!

Great explanations! Keep them coming. Do you have a solution for piping insulation inspection port plugs not being returned to the ports?

Super interesting. Thank you!

One important feature of a distillation tower is the reflux which is a liquid extracted from the distillation tower, cooled down externally (air coolers or else) then recycled to the column to provide the cooling effect which allows the various wapors inside the column to cool down and become liquids and extracted as you pointed out.

I invest in energy stocks, including one refinery, so was interested in how energy products are produced. Thank you for making this video.

The World as seen a 10% reduction in Petroleum/Gas/Diesel recently due to EV's, with a annual over 50% increase in EV sales on wonders how long before you see an increase in the closing of Refineries. I hope your investment is safe

Welcome to my channel if you’re interested in oil refining

I'm suprized this on ly has 441 views... it's great.

It works by using VAST amounts of Electricity to split Crude into it's component parts and and also uses Cobalt to de-Sulphur Petroleum, creating vast amounts of pollution doing so

Ouch. The explanation of the initial refinement of crude is a bit off. The initial heating doesn't vaporize everything. Instead it heats enough that a lot of the material is flashed off but not all. It doesn't enter at the very bottom of the tower either. After removing the volatiles, the liquid stream from the bottom of the crude tower is further heated before going to a second distillation tower that operates under vacuum. This allows as much oil to be recovered from the tar without heating it to the point where it cokes.

Thanks for the additional detail Rich.

Good. Now show us the inside of the tower and how reach different liquid is captured.

I'm a bit embarrassed it took me this long to understand the basics of how refinaries work

I got it شويه

i was just wondering how a refinery works

Sir, how does a proivate refinery with a capacity of 10 million barrel per annum would itself import 10 million barrels annualy, so how does it work, it takes loans for import or govt import it and let refinery do its processing or refinery itself import oil using some other payment form🤔🤔🤔🤔

My understanding is that the financial aspects are very similar to any other large industrial manufacturing plant. Inputs to the process are paid for by the sale of products. Any lag in cash flow can be financed with a business loan. There are some tax incentives and government initiatives to create jobs and provide energy stability but I don’t think they are directly related to the purchase of feedstock like crude oil.

Hello everyone I am a Kurd and I also admire the country of Norway. I do pipe manufacturing and installation works in refineries and power plants, I am a good master. I am currently in Norway, working at Porsgrunn and Norcem. I have a two-year residence card from Lithuania and I have applied for a residence permit here, waiting for it to be issued. I want to work at Statoil Refinery and serve Norway for the rest of my life. Can you help me Thanks

Thanks for sharing this. The industry is definitely in transition and it's very likely that the disruption you're experiencing will become even more common as demands shift back and forth between energy sources. I'm sure that's little comfort to you but it does highlight the need for us to help each other as we find our way to new work during energy uncertainty.

Refineries use so much electricity that if we stopped refining oil there would be more than enough electricity for all cars if converted to EV's

so what is going to happen in 15 years when most cars are electric. let say we have a reduction of 50% of our gasoline use by 2040. we will still have the same need for jet fuel, home heating oil and heavy equipment diesel fuel as we have today. your not going to run a 737 jet or Cat D11 on Battery power. how are the refinery's going to make the same amount of diesel fuel while processing less crude oil?

Thanks for the question. Fuel mix is almost certain to change in some way. The energy industry has a history of adapting to demand across the different kinds of fuel. I’m pretty confident that if the demand drops by that much in one kind of fuel they will adjust the process mix to meet demand.
