Have you ever wondered how your heating oil gets to your home?
The process begins at an oil rig! Here is the official trip heating oil makes – with the end result keeping you warm and cozy all throughout the winter months.
Oil Rig
Heating oil is made from crude oil, which is brought out from the ground by drilling oil rigs in oil fields. These fields can be either offshore or on land. After the oil is taken from the ground, it is then sent to the next place – a refinery.
Refinery
Crude oil itself cannot be used as a fuel; instead, it must be refined into chemicals that eventually will be part of other products, or into actual products. What products are made from the crude oil depends on the market at that particular time. The refinery is the point at which crude oil becomes heating oil.
Terminal
After it is processed at the refinery, heating oil travels to a distribution terminal by ship, barge, tank truck, train, or pipeline. These terminals provide temporary storage for refined crude oil products which will be distributed to bulk plants that are near end users.
Bulk Plant
Also known as wholesalers, independent marketers own and operate bulk plants, redistributing heating oil to local dealers. In our case, we operate our own bulk storage facility, which enables us to purchase and store large quantities of fuel at times when wholesale prices are lowest --and pass the savings on to you! Having our own storage facility also ensures a plentiful supply at all times.
Reliable Oil & Heat
Our trucks deliver heating oil to your home’s tank to keep you warm and comfortable all heating season long!
It’s a long trip, but so worth it to enjoy superior fuel oil delivery and the personal “hometown service” you deserve!
