Crude Oil is a liquid found naturally in rock, containing mostly complex hydrocarbons, with some additional organic material. It is the major fuel used on the planet, and is used in the production of many synthetic materials like plastics as well.

Types of Crude Oil :

• Bonny Light Crude Oil
• Saudi Light Crude Oil
• Iraq Basra Light Crude Oil
• Iran Light Crude Oil
• Heavy Crude Oil

Bitumen is a solid, semi-solid or viscous hydrocarbon with a colloidal structure which is brown to black in colour. It is obtained by vacuum distillation of oil residues from atmospheric distillation of crude oil. Bitumen is often referred to as asphalt and is primarily used for surfacing of roads and for roofing material. This category includes fluidized and cut back bitumen.

Fuel Oil defines oils that make up the distillation residue. It comprises all residual fuel oils, including those obtained by blending. Its kinematics viscosity is above 10 CST at 80°C. The flash point is always above 50^°C and the density is always higher than 0.90 kg/l.

Types of Fuel Oil :

• High Sulphur Fuel Oil, HSFO 
• Low Sulphur Fuel Oil, LSFO 

JP54 Jet Fuel is a type of aviation fuel designed for use in aircraft powered by gas-turbine engines. It is clear to straw colored. The most common fuels are Jet A and Jet A-1 which are produced to an internationally standardized set of specifications. The only other jetfuel that is commonly used in civilian turbine engine-powered aviation is called Jet B and is used for its enhanced cold-weather performance.

JP54 Jet Fuel is a mixture of a large number of different hydrocarbons. The range of their sizes (molecular weights or carbon numbers) is restricted by the requirements for the product, for example, freezing point or smoke point. Kerosene-type jet fuel (including Jet A and Jet A-1) has a carbon number distribution between about 8 and 16 carbon numbers; wide-cut or naphtha-type jet fuel (including Jet B), between about 5 and 15 carbon numbers.
