I've seen 50 year old drilling notes with "frac" or "frac'ing", it just didn't enter the general public's awareness that way. Using/not using the K does tend to instantly highlight which "side" you're on, as stupid as that sounds.

computer parts posted:Not a chemical engineer, but as far as I know the contents of the barrel are uniform, so you can use it all on jet fuel or plastics if you want. The components aren't uniform, but the short answer is yes, probably. The long answer is that crude is composed of various different hydrocarbons, along with impurities that have to be processed out safely. This also varies with the source reservoir, so WTI isn't processed exactly the same as Saudi oil. A fraction of the components in crude are, say, jet fuel to begin with, those are simply separated out without being chemically altered. Some other fraction may be paraffins or other longer hydrocarbons which you can crack to gasoline / other stuff, if you're willing to pay for the necessary infrastructure. Like most things with oil, it's more of an economic feasibility question.
