Ceyhan-Kırıkkale Oil Pipeline
Ceyhan–Kırıkkale Oil Pipeline ( tr, Ceyhan–Kırıkkale Ham Petrol Boru Hattı), also known as Yumurtalık (Ceyhan)–Kırıkkale Oil Pipeline ( tr, Yumurtalık (Ceyhan)–Kırıkkale Ham Petrol Boru Hattı) is a crude oil pipeline between Ceyhan and Kırıkkale in Turkey. It is owned and operated by the state-owned company Botaş. Background The construction of the Ceyhan–Kırıkkale Oil Pipeline began in May 1983 and completed in February 1986. It was built by the Tekfen Construction and Installation. The -long pipeline crosses steep slopes of Taurus Mountains. The pipeline was commissioned in 1986 to make the 1986-built Kırıkkale Refinery operational. Technical features The pipeline transports crude oil from Botaş Ceyhan Oil Terminal to Tüpraş Kırıkkale Oil Refinery for refining purpose. Botaş Ceyhan Oil Terminal is located in Ceyhan, Adana Province in southern Turkey on the northern coast of Gulf of Alexandretta at northeastern Mediterranean Sea. Tüpraş Kı ...

Crude Oil
Petroleum, also known as crude oil, or simply oil, is a naturally occurring yellowish-black liquid mixture of mainly hydrocarbons, and is found in geological formations. The name ''petroleum'' covers both naturally occurring unprocessed crude oil and petroleum products that consist of refined crude oil. A fossil fuel, petroleum is formed when large quantities of dead organisms, mostly zooplankton and algae, are buried underneath sedimentary rock and subjected to both prolonged heat and pressure. Petroleum is primarily recovered by oil drilling. Drilling is carried out after studies of structural geology, sedimentary basin analysis, and reservoir characterisation. Recent developments in technologies have also led to exploitation of other Unconventional (oil & gas) reservoir, unconventional reserves such as oil sands and oil shale. Once extracted, oil is refined and separated, most easily by Continuous distillation#Continuous distillation of crude oil, distillation, into innume ...
