The program deals with how petroleum is formed, its properties and uses. Structures and formulae of hydrocarbons are examined and 3-D animation is used to clearly show the composition of various linear, cyclic, saturated and unsaturated compounds in an engaging and easy to understand format. The program takes an in-depth look at how petroleum (a mixture) is refined into fractions and how these fractions can be changed to have more useful properties. Various cracking and reforming processes are investigated, showing raw materials, processes and products.
