This video discusses hydrocarbons, their derivatives, and their presence in many products we use every day. It also mentions that gas can be transported through pipelines and that it is used as a fuel in electric power plants, as well as other products. The main use of natural gas is as a fuel in electric power plants.

• 00:00:00 This video discusses hydrocarbons, their derivatives, and their presence in many products we use every day. Hydrocarbons are a complex mixture of chemical compounds that are made of hydrogen and carbon. They can be found in two forms: liquid, called oil, and gas, called natural gas. Scientists believe that hydrocarbons are of organic origin, which means they originate from the decomposition and transformation of animal and plant remains that have existed for millions of years. Oil and gas are located buried deep in the earth, with depths ranging from a few meters to 6,000 meters. Exploration for hydrocarbons is called exploration. This activity allows us to locate the area where there are greater chances of finding them. There are several ways to explore for hydrocarbons. One is using geologic field exploration, which involves observing and examining the surface layers of the terrestrial planet, analyzing the physical characteristics and properties of rocks, and deducing the structure of the subsurface using acoustic waves that are captured by geophones. Once the area with hydrocarbons is located, a well exploration project is implemented to confirm and verify the initial findings. If the project finds oil, gas, or both, the production process begins, with the design of a production process determining the
