Petroleum

As per available reports about 60 journals, 20 Conferences,15 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to petroleum and about 134 articles are being published on the current trends in petroleum. Petroleum is a naturally occurring, yellow-to-black liquid found beneath the surface of the earth, commonly refined into various types of fuels. It contains hydrocarbons of various molecular weights and other liquid organic compounds. It covers both naturally occurring unprocessed crude oil and petroleum products that are made up of refined crude oil. It’s a fossil fuel, formed when large quantities of dead organisms are buried underneath sedimentary rocks and subjected to intense heat and pressure.

The Journal of Petroleum & Environmental Biotechnology is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in petroleum and environmental biotechnology. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal of Petroleum & Environmental Biotechnology provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of petroleum and environmental biotechnology, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.

Petroleum
Petroleum, along with oil and coal, is classified as a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are formed when sea plants and animals die, and the remains become buried under several thousand feet of silt, sand or mud. Fossil fuels take millions of years to form and therefore petroleum is also considered to be a non-renewable energy source.
Petroleum is formed by hydrocarbons (a hydrocarbon is a compound made up of carbon and hydrogen) with the addition of certain other substances, primarily sulphur. Petroleum in its natural form when first collected is usually named crude oil, and can be clear, green or black and may be either thin like gasoline or thick like tar.
