Transporting and distributing petroleum products.
The transportation and distribution of petroleum products involve several stages to ensure the efficient delivery of these products from production sites to end consumers. Below is an overview of this process:
Storage Process:
- Petroleum products are stored in specialized facilities before distribution.
- These facilities are equipped to ensure the safety and quality of the stored products.
Distribution Process:
- After storage, petroleum products are distributed to fuel stations, industrial sites, and commercial consumers.
- Distribution is conducted via various safe and reliable transportation methods.
Marketing petroleum products through the company’s public and private stations.
The marketing of petroleum products at public and private company stations involves several aspects aimed at effectively meeting consumer needs. Here’s an outline of the process:
Public Company Stations:
These stations are part of a large distribution network that provides petroleum products across various regions. They are strictly regulated to ensure product quality.
Private Company Stations:
Private stations often offer additional services such as car washing, convenience stores, and quick services. Prices at these stations may vary based on location and services offered, providing a range of options for consumers.
Supplying ships with petroleum products.
Fuelling ships is an essential process to support the continuous operation of commercial and marine vessels. The process is described below:
- Ships are fuelled at specialized ports and centres equipped with large storage tanks.
- Different types of fuels are used, including Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), Marine Gas Oil (MGO), and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), depending on the type of vessel and its requirements.
- There is a growing trend toward the use of environmentally friendly fuels, such as LNG, to reduce harmful emissions.
Providing major consumers, such as factories and companies, with petroleum products.
This part of the supply chain is critical to maintaining the continuity of industrial and commercial operations. Below is an outline of the process:
- Contracts are established between oil companies and major consumers to determine the required quantities and delivery schedules.
- The process includes planning for delivery dates and ensuring the timely availability of the requested products.
- Additional services are often provided, such as periodic maintenance of storage tanks, training for workers on the safe handling of petroleum products, and consulting on improving fuel efficiency to reduce costs.
Importing and distributing oils and pesticides.
The supply and distribution of oils and pesticides involve several measures to ensure they reach consumers efficiently and safely. Here’s an overview:
Supply of Oils:
- The supplied oils include lubricants for vehicles, industrial oils for machinery, and marine oils for ships.
- Oils are stored in specialized tanks and transported using appropriate trucks to ensure their safety and quality.
- A network of distributors, fuel stations, and industrial centers is used to distribute these oils to end consumers.
Supply of Pesticides:
- Pesticides used in agriculture to protect crops, as well as those used in public health to control harmful insects, are stored in warehouses that adhere to strict safety standards.
- These pesticides are distributed through specialized centers and agricultural companies to ensure they reach farmers and other consumers safely, without chemical leakage.
