Ceypetco-Aviation of Ceylon Petroleum Corporation has a monopoly in Aviation fuel handling in Sri Lanka provides round the clock aviation refuelling services at Bandaranaike International Airport, Katunayake. Refueling clean & dry Aviation Fuels, on latest specifications to the right aircraft & right time economically safely & environmental friendly is the main task of ceypetco aviation. Domestic flights and some nominated foreign military aircraft are provided with refuelling services at Ratmalana airport and it is a daytime operation.Aviation Fuel cleanliness and freedom from contamination is the most important consideration for modern aircraft since it directly affects aircraft engine life & aircraft safety and influences maintenance cost. Therefore, quality control and maintenance is one of the most important aspects in aviation fuel handling. Aviation Jet fuel is produced at the Ceypetco refinery according to the latest specification checklist under “Aviation Fuel Quality Requirements for Jointly Operated Systems – AFQRJOS”. The deficit as per the predicted demand is directly imported from other countries. Current demand is one million liters daily.

Welcome to American Petroleum Sales & Service
American Petroleum is a full service petroleum equipment distributor specializing in the sales, service, and installation of petroleum retail and fleet fueling systems. We can also provide service station construction, Oasis car wash systems, intercom systems, security safes, lubrication equipment and commercial air compressors with service to it all. We have been serving the North Mississippi, West Tennessee, and Arkansas areas for the past fifteen years
Our customer base includes independent oil jobbers, major oil companies, convenience stores, hyper-markets, local governments, and commercial end users. With four fully stocked warehouses, certified technicians and installers, our goal is to be the best service and product provider for the petroleum equipment industry in the tri-state area.
Energy-Related Carbon Emissions for the Petroleum and Coal Products Industry, 1994. Petroleum refining is by far the largest component of the petroleum and coal products industry. The petroleum refining industry uses almost 30 percent of all energy used in manufacturing and emits over 20 percent of the carbon. Only about half of the energy is used as fuel; the rest is used as feedstock. Energy-Related Carbon Emissions for the Petroleum Refining Industry by Source, 1994. Over half of petroleum refining carbon emissions are from petroleum byproducts (chiefly still gas and petroleum coke) used as fuel. A significant amount of carbon is sequestered in petrochemical feedstocks, resulting in a relatively low overall carbon intensity.

Petroleum substances have been discovered and used as fuels for many centuries, originally at the sites of natural seeps and leaks from fissures in the Earth's surface. In the modern era, petroleum resources are sought and exploited from locations that are more difficult and hazardous, including offshore. The petroleum deposits discovered in offshore areas contain the same kind of hydrocarbon substances as those found onshore. For example, a form of natural gas called gas hydrate is available both onshore and offshore, but offshore resources are particularly of interest because of their volume and potential for future large-scale development.
The reason offshore petroleum exploration and development are so prominent in this century is that many onshore petroleum resources have either been exhausted, are not economically producible, or are unable to be fully developed because of restrictions of national ownership or geopolitical problems. The expansion of resource development offshore is inevitable because of the growing demand for petroleum and petroleum products.
Locations of Resources.
Offshore locations where petroleum resources are being found and developed for the market occur worldwide, wherever prospects for economic development exist. Presently, the petroleum industry is investing in exploration and development of oil and gas fields in offshore locations such as Newfoundland, Alaska, California, the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, West Africa, the North Sea, the North Atlantic Ocean, the Caspian Sea, Western Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, New Zealand, and the South China Sea. Prospective
areas are being sought offshore in all of the onshore petroleum basins, and wherever correlations of continental geologic structures are found.Technological Advances
The technology is presently available to explore, drill, produce, and transport petroleum in water up to 2,300 meters (7,500 feet) deep, and further innovations are predicted to extend the depth range of future operations. In addition, remote sensing and remote control technology are being applied in facilities that cannot be directly operated by personnel, who live and work either in onsite quarters or onshore.
Every country that has dominion over part of the continental shelf of the ocean is investigating the possibility that petroleum resources may be found and developed there, with the help of modern technology. The estimated petroleum reserves of a region provide a solid incentive for capital investment in its economic and social development.
Offshore Exploration.
Exploration of offshore petroleum prospects involves various technologies. Seismic surveying uses seismic waves propagated in the crust of the Earth to identify and map rock structures that are likely to contain petroleum reservoirs, such as basins and traps. When likely structures are found, other technologies are applied to obtain additional information about the formations being studied. These may include core sampling of the rocks with geological and laboratory analysis; data logging
and interpretation of formation characteristics; geochemical sampling and analysis of reservoir rocks and fluids; and reservoir modeling to evaluate the potential for economic development and exploitation.The exploration stage is increasingly being integrated with other stages in petroleum resource development and management, so that all information and data obtained are additive in understanding the geologic structures being characterized and exploited.
The word Petroleum is derived from two words Petra meaning rock and oleum meaning oil. The oil occurs naturally in porous rocky strata in liquid form is the crude oil. If it is in semi hard state mixed in sand then it is bitumen. The crude oil can be black, brown, green or even orangish yellow. It does contain oxygen, sulphur, nitrogen and other items in minute quantities which determines it suitability for specific application.
The crude oil or its derivatives are marketed by volume or weight, gallon, litre, barrel, are the volumetric measurements while metric tonnes (mt or MT) are for the weight. The co-relation between 7.2 to 7.4 barrel to 1 mt is taken for rough calculation only as is it not accurate.
