Get to know the journey that Oil takes until the gas canister reaches your home.
Producing the fuel you use today starts with the discovery of reservoirs and the construction and installation of platforms up to 300 km from the coast, to extract the oil that is up to 7 thousand meters deep. From there, the oil goes to refineries, where it is transformed into derivatives, including liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), also called cooking gas.
The data are public, and you can consult them whenever you want, here or on the ANP website.
