Petroleum refineries convert crude oil and other liquids into many petroleum products that people use every day. Most refineries focus on producing transportation fuels. On average, U.S. refineries produce, from a 42-gallon barrel of crude oil, about 19 to 20 gallons of motor gasoline; 11 to 13 gallons of distillate fuel most of which is sold as diesel fuel; and 3 to 4 gallons of jet fuel. More than a dozen other petroleum products are also produced in refineries including liquids the petrochemical industry uses to make a variety of chemicals and plastics. The amount of individual products produced varies from month to month and year to year as refineries adjust production to meet market demand and to maximize profitability
Important crude oil

Globally, crude oil is one of the most important fuel sources and, historically, has contributed to over a third of the world’s energy consumption. Discovering, extracting, shipping, and refining crude is a long process, and the infrastructure needed to support the process must be in place. This involves thousands of miles of oil pipelines across countries, storage facilities in major oil trading hubs, and multiple refineries. In aggregate, the global oil industry is a multi-trillion dollar industry.
Oil is especially important to businesses that heavily rely on fuel, such as airlines, plastic producers, and agricultural businesses. Being such an important source of energy, crude is a major import and export business

EFINITION OF BUNKERY picture of me on a tour to one of private refinery )

The term bunkering originated in the days of steamships, when coal was stored in bunkers. Nowadays, the term bunker is generally applied to the petroleum products stored in tanks, and bunkering to the practice and business of refueling ships. Bunkering operations take place at seaports and include the storage and provision of the bunker

CAUSES OF ILLEGAL BUNKERY

poverty
The poor must eat. They want money at all costs. They then see this avenue as their source of income. As such, they have no alternative to doing the only thing that seems to be available to them.

neglect

The federal government neglects the people who live where oil is drilled. Many people in the Niger Delta areas where oil is got have died fighting for their people’s rights. To show their grievances, they have kidnapped many oil workers demanding a high ransom. Yet, the federal government continues to neglect them.

To them, the federal government is cheating them. By the constitution, the oil belongs to the federal government. However, the land belongs to them by nature. Therefore, equity demands that the owners of the land should be compensated. Where the federal government fails to compensate them, they resort to taking it by force and trick hence the illegal bunkers.

May God help us all in this fight of equity
