A petroleum refinery is a set of installations intended to transform crude oil, generally unusable as such, into petroleum products: motor gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel, fuel oil, lubricants, liquefied petroleum gases, naphtha, and so on. The products consumed in largest volumes are motor gasoline, motor diesel, and heavy fuel oil.
Which is the largest oil refinery in the world?
The Jamnagar refinery is the largest oil refinery in the world since 2008, with a processing capacity of 1.24 million barrels per day (more than 60 million tons per year, almost equivalent to the capacity of a major European country!). Located in Gujarat, India, it is owned by Reliance Industries.
When did the refining industry start?
From a technical point of view, the refining industry really began in 1863 with the construction of the first distillation unit in Boston, USA. Certainly, this unit has nothing to do with the refineries we know today. Still, it made possible to extract from crude oil the kerosene or lamp oil consumed at the time.
Are refinery processing revenue and oil crack spreads still at a low level?
Although refinery processing revenue and major oil crack spreads have rebounded, but are still at a low level. The carbon¨Cneutral transformation forced major economies around the world to speed up the divestiture of traditional refining business and eliminate backward production capacity.
