Extraction of gasoline from crude oil.

[Anisha fatima + 8]

Can we extract only 19.5 gallons of gasoline from one barrel of crude oil, or how many gallons of gasoline are produced from one barrel of crude oil?

The Usual crack spread is 3 barrels crude: 2 barrels gasoline: 1 barrel heavy oils JP-4 and heavier. Refineries designed for 20 gravity crude run  6 barrels Crude: 3 barrels gasoline 2: barrels middle distillates (Jp4 diesel naptha, reformate) 1 barrel bottoms  #6 oil , motor oil)

Depends what grade of oil you work on, but generally at best you can produce 20 gallons of gasoline from crude oil, the rest will be lighter stuff like propane and butane or heavier stuff, kerosene, diesel fuel, oil, bitumen, and coke.

Depends. Orinoco which is about 10 gravity  will produce about 28 barrels of gasoline if you have crackers and decokers for it.  A barrel of number 6 oil  is 6.28 mmbtu at 24 gravity API. # 2 off road Diesel is 5.8 mmbtu net "refinery gain" is about 3.48 gallons.  At 10 gravity 28 gallons is what is the refinery target yields. #6 oil has 3,.48 gallons of refienrey gain.  Diesel is 5.8 mmbtu/barrel. You get a 8% volume gain while balancing mmbtu.  Light ends are eusually used as plant fuel unless you have a plant that uses ethane and propane as feed stock.
