Bitumen:You probably mostly know about bitumen from its use in pavement. You always kinda knew that tar and asphalt had something to do with oil. Or more vaguely with carbohydrates from the underground. Such resources are best understood and sorted out based on their density, viscosity or their 'thickness'. From the most dense and viscous bitumen to gases like methane and ethane. And off course all the better known liquid varieties in between. Like diesel, fuel oil, petroleum, gasoline. Perhaps lesser known is kerosene that is used as fuel in jet engines.In essence bitumen is a segment of these carbohydrates in the lower, denser and more viscous part of the spectrum. In nature you will find all of these as part of the same primordial soup that can be extracted from the underground. These carbohydrates originate from ancient organic material: Plant and animal remains exposed to high pressure and high temperatures deep in the underground. So petrochemical materials are not a singular distinct compound like iron or gold but a mix of hundreds or thousands different compounds that gets separated out in the refining process and cleaned up according to use and need.
