Instructions and help about Plastics Industry

its Global Production has doubled about every decade ing to estimates over 380 million tons of plastic is produced every year it's no surprise then that the Plastic industry is valued at over $600 billion so how is it made crude oil the primary raw material for plastic is extracted through a process called drilling it involves drilling a well bar into the Earth's crust to reach underground reservoirs that contain oil the drilling process typically uses a drilling rig which is equipped with specialized equipment to penetrate the ground once the wellbore reaches the reservoir the pressure within the reservoir forces the crude oil to flow up to the wellbore this initial flow is often aided by the natural Reservoir pressure but as the pressure decreases over time other techniques like pumping or injecting gases and fluids may be used to enhance oil recovery once extracted crude oil undergo refining by heating it in a furnace to about 700 ft 52° F or 400° C Vapors from the oil move into a
