Petroleum industry in Japan - statistics & facts
Crude oil, or petroleum, is one of the most important commodities in the world as it has a wide range of uses from energy generation to application as a feedstock for a variety of chemical products and fuels. The terms crude oil and petroleum are often used interchangeably, but petroleum includes both unprocessed crude oil as well as petroleum products. Petroleum products are produced from the processing of crude oil and other liquids at petroleum refineries.
