About this episode

This episode explores the oil and gas industry, including geology, petrochemistry, and the UK's energy solutions.

This week, we are exploring the oil and gas industry, literally from the ground up: what's the geology of oil formation, how does a petrochemist go from crude to highly refined, can the UK solve its energy price problem by actually using the oil on its own doorstep, and what lies downstream of oil as we transition to alternatives?
