How much petrol is refined from a barrel of oil?

I have a bet about tjis if I were to buy a 200litre barrel of oil and processed and refined it in the usual way how much petrol would I get back from the original total?????


How much petrol is refined from a barrel of oil?
A barrel of crude oil (42 US Gallons) will yield slightly more than 44 gallons of finished refinery products. This is due to the reduction in density of many crude components during processing. Here is the break-down from a ';typical'; barrel of oil.


Finished Motor Gasoline 19.5 gallons


Distillate Fuel Oil 8.61 gallons


Jet Fuel 4.20 gallons


Residual Fuel Oil 2.77 gallons


Petroleum Coke 1.60 gallons


Ashphalt and road oils 1.39 gallons


Liquified Gases 1.43 gallons


Petrochemical feedstocks 1.22 gallons


Miscellaneous 2.98 gallons


Finished Aviation Gasoline 0.08 gallons


Kerosene 0.25 gallonsHow much petrol is refined from a barrel of oil?
In the initial analysis the ammount will vary according to the type of crude, light crude contains more of the lower molecular weight components than heavy crude, so it is preferred for petrol production, but cracking may be used to produce more lower molecular weight components [if these are what is required] albeit more expensively
An average of 20 US gallons, but it will depend totally on the constituents of the crude. Every crude is different. Some crudes give more lighter ends/heavier ends, others give more middle products.





Here's the info for some californian crude

One barrel of crude oil makes about 19陆 gallons of gasoline, 9 gallons of fuel oil, 4 gallons of jet fuel, and 11 gallons of other products, including lubricants, kerosene, asphalt, and petrochemical feedstocks to make plastics
