Chemists<\/strong> in the oil and petroleum industry work with crude oil and the products derived from it.\u00a0 They have a broad spectrum of jobs such as:<\/p>\n

\n
• \u201cFingerprinting\u201d oil leaked in a spill<\/li>\n
• Process control at a refinery<\/li>\n
• Developing catalysts used in the refining process<\/li>\n
• Creating new polymers for fibers and resins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Definitions:<\/h2>\n

  Fingerprinting<\/strong> – a process that refers to analytical chemistry techniques by which crude oil is defined into its components in such a way as to permit the identification of a particular sample of crude oil by the uniqueness of its composition.<\/p>\n

  Process control<\/strong> –\u00a0an engineering discipline\u00a0that enables mass production of continuous processes such as oil refining, paper manufacturing, chemicals, power plants and many other industries. Process control enables automation, with which a small staff of operating personnel can operate a complex process from a central control room.<\/p>\n
