Sentry Energy Production

Sentry Energy Production LLC is an oil and gas exploration company that partners with other companies to help expand their portfolios. Once companies like Sentry locate and extract crude oil, almost half is refined into gasoline for vehicles. Approximately 20% is refined into diesel fuel. The remaining oil is separated into layers during refinement and various byproducts are used to make plastic, rubber, asphalt, and other petrochemical materials.

How is Crude Oil Used?
Sentry Energy Production LLC, an oil and gas exploration company, partners with other companies to help them expand their portfolios. Used in everything from the plastic bottles we drink out of to the gas we use to fill up our cars, crude oil has played, and will continue to play, a substantial role in shaping the modern way of life. Where does it all go once companies like Sentry Energy Production LLC locate and extract it?
Unsurprisingly, almost half (46 percent) of refined oil goes into creating gasoline for vehicles and other applications. Most of this product is refined into unleaded gasoline (octane 87) containing detergent and ethanol additives according to U.S. government standards.
Approximately 20 percent of all crude oil was refined into diesel fuel in 2013. Diesel fuel requires less refinement than regular gasoline, but it has a higher energy density. With more energy gallon-per-gallon compared to gasoline, diesel fuel provides increased levels of combustion byproducts such as soot and nitrogen compounds, though many manufacturers are developing clean diesel systems to address this issue.
Crude oil separates into several layers once it is refined, and various oil byproducts are sent to different industries to make plastic, rubber, asphalt tar, and other petrochemical materials. On average, a 42- gallon U.S. barrel of crude oil yields approximately 45 gallons of petroleum products after the refinement process.
