About crude petroleum and natural gas
cpc code 12, 'Crude petroleum and natural gas', represents a critical industry that underpins the global economy. As the primary sources of energy, crude petroleum and natural gas are essential raw materials for a wide range of industries, from transportation and manufacturing to power generation and petrochemicals. This industry plays a vital role in meeting the world's growing energy demands and supporting economic development across various sectors.
Production process
The production of crude petroleum and natural gas involves a complex process of exploration, extraction, and processing. Exploration teams use advanced technologies, such as seismic surveys and drilling, to locate and assess potential reserves. Once a viable source is identified, extraction methods, including onshore and offshore drilling, are employed to bring the raw materials to the surface. The extracted crude petroleum and natural gas then undergo processing, refining, and purification to remove impurities and prepare the products for distribution and use.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the crude petroleum and natural gas industry include specialized drilling equipment, such as rigs, pumps, and pipelines, as well as exploration and surveying tools. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including geologists, engineers, and technicians, to carry out the various stages of production. 11 Coal mining and 19 Other mining and quarrying are also important suppliers of raw materials and resources to this industry.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the crude petroleum and natural gas industry are refined petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, as well as natural gas and its derivatives. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 49 Land transport and transport via pipelines, 20 Manufacture of chemicals and chemical products, and 35 Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply.
