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.
Modern hydrocarbon companies carry out a socially and environmentally responsible management. Improving the quality of life of the inhabitants of the areas where they operate is part of the management of community relations to avoid environmental contamination.
