How Crude Oil Turns into Fuel

Crude oil is separated inside a fractionating column — turning one raw material into petrol, diesel, jet fuel, gas, and more. As crude oil turns into hot v***r, it enters a tall tower (fractionating column). As the v***r rises, temperature decreases. Everything separate at different levels.

< 40°C Bottled Gas - use as Cooking gas
40°C Petrol – fuel use in Cars
60°C Naptha – use for making Plastic & Chemicals
175°C Kerosene – use in Jet Fuel
250°C Diesel – power Trucks & Busses
300°C Lubricating Oil – use in Engines & Machinery
370°C Fuel Oil – use in Ships & large Factories

Ocean Thunder only carries a portion of the 38% of the country's crude oil imports that pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Malaysia's fuel supply is also sourced from various other sources within PETRONAS's extensive network.

This allows PETRONAS to confirm sufficient supply at its stations until the end of June 2026.
