Abstract

If there is to be a thorough understanding of petroleum and the associated technologies, it is essential that the definitions and the terminology of petroleum science and technology be given prime consideration (Meyer and DeWitt, 1990; Speight, 2014a). This will aid in a better understanding of petroleum, its constituents, and its various fractions. Of the many forms of terminology that have been used not all have survived, but the more commonly used are illustrated here. Particularly troublesome, and more confusing, are those terms that are applied to the more viscous materials, for example, the use of the terms “bitumen” and “asphalt.” This part of the text attempts to alleviate much of the confusion that exists, but it must be remembered that the terminology of petroleum is still open to personal choice and historical usage.
