The Basic Petroleum Chemistry training course focuses on the chemical composition of petroleum. It examines properties associated with various hydrocarbon molecules found during crude oil refining. This online training course discusses the molecular structure, physical properties, naming conventions, and commercial uses of several common hydrocarbons.

This course explores:

• Crude oil
• Hydrocarbon covalent bonding
• Hydrocarbon naming conventions
• Hydrocarbon families - paraffins, napthenes, and aromatics
• Hydrocarbon families - olefins and alkynes
• Physical properties and molecular structure
• Crude oil containments

Basic Petroleum Chemistry is part of the Petroleum Refining training series.
