Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen, occurring in nature as gases, liquids, fats, and sometimes solids. Crude oil, in any of its forms, and natural gas are a combination of different hydrocarbons.
They are an important source of energy for industries and homes, and also a resource for the manufacture of multiple materials with which we make our lives easier. They are not only fuels, but their elements are separated through different processes, which are used by the petrochemical industry.
The petrochemical industry has multiplied the use of oil in the manufacture of different objects made of plastics and synthetic fibers.
Las empresas de hidrocarburos modernas realizan una gestión social y ambientalmente responsable. Mejorar la calidad de vida de los pobladores de las zonas donde operan forma parte de la gestión de relacionamiento comunitario para evitar la contaminación ambiental. Cuando un derrame de hidrocarburos llega al terreno, se requiere la remediación de suelos contaminados.
