Downstream oil and gas activities represent the crucial phase in the industry that involves refining, distribution, and marketing of petroleum products derived from crude oil. This sector encompasses a network of refineries where crude oil is processed into valuable products such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and various petrochemicals. Once refined, these products move through an extensive distribution network, including pipelines, ships, trucks, and railroads, to reach end consumers. Downstream operations also include storage facilities, terminals, and retail outlets, where the refined products are stored, blended, and ultimately sold to consumers. The downstream sector plays a pivotal role in meeting the energy demands of societies globally, providing not only transportation fuels but also essential raw materials for various industries. The industry continuously adapts to evolving environmental regulations and market demands, incorporating technological advancements to enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and ensure the safe and reliable supply of refined products to consumers around the world.
