  • What is a petroleum refinery?
  • A petroleum refinery is a manufacturing operation where crude petroleum - the raw material, is converted into usable and economic finished products, that is, it is the manufacturing phase of the oil industry.
  • Are crude oil refineries adapting their refining economics?
  • Complex refineries that locked into imported heavy crude oils to run through their cracking and coking plants are taking the new light crudes and adapting their refining economics to run them.
  • What is energy use in petroleum refineries?
  • Energy use in petroleum refineries is key components of well-to-pump (WTP) energy use and emissions of gasoline and diesel. In GREET, petroleum refinery overall energy efficiencies are used to determine petroleum product specific energy efficiencies.
  • What are petroleum refinery energy efficiencies?
  • In GREET, petroleum refinery overall energy efficiencies are used to determine petroleum product specific energy efficiencies. Argonne has developed petroleum refining efficiencies from LP simulations of petroleum refineries and EIA survey data of petroleum refineries up to 2006 (see Wang, 2008).
  • Why is crude oil important in the petroleum refining industry?
  • Crude Slate: Crude oil is the primary input into the petroleum refining industry. Even for some oil exporting countries, the transportation costs associated with moving crude oil from the oil fields to the consuming regions and the greater choice of crude qualities make it more economic for distant refineries to use imported crude oil.
  • How do refineries increase motor fuel production without increasing nameplate capacity?
  • In other words, refineries increased motor fuel production without having to increase nameplate capacity by adding cracking and coking units.2 Several Midwest refineries have recently added coking/conversion capacity to take advantage of the increasing supply of heavier crude oils from Canada¡¯s oil sands projects.
