Companies obtain hydrocarbons through a variety of methods including drilling for oil and gas, extracting hydrocarbons from shale formations using hydraulic fracturing, mining coal for its hydrocarbon content, and refining crude oil into petroleum products. Once obtained, hydrocarbons are further processed and distributed for various end uses.
