The largest oil refinery is the Paraguana Refining Complex in Venezuela, which can process 940,000 barrels of oil each day. In fact, most of the oil industry’s largest refineries are in Asia and South America. Nevertheless, the practice of refining oil was created in the United States, where it continues to be an important part of the Reality: Refiners only make $5‐15 per barrel of oil processed. The Reality of Refining: 1) PROCESSING COSTS (it costs a ton of $$$ to build all that processing equipment) 2) VOLUME (one barrel of crude does not equal one barrel of gasoline) 3) FEEDSTOCK PROPERTIES (you have to be able to get crudes you can process) Ch. 5— The Petroleum Refining Industry . 87 and each refinery has been built to process a cer-tain type of crude oil (or “slate” of crudes) to pro-duce the products required for a defined market.7 Markets for specific products change constant- EPCC contract for a gas plant consisting of two process trains, and all associated infrastructure. In 1964 Clough was awarded its first oil and gas project, which first major oil development. This project set the tone for Clough’s future, and today the company has a track record of oil and gas project delivery spanning 50 years. Oil and gas are exported either as refined products or crude oil in specialized tankers. 6) Transport : The oil and gas are then transported, either by ship or pipeline, to processing facilities. Production flaring occurs in the explo- ration and production sector of oil-gas industry. Large volumes of gas will be combusted during the evaluation of a gas-oil potential test as an indication of the capacity of the well for production. 2.1. Generally the gas flaring will consist of a mixture of different gases. Oil and gas production handbook An introduction to oil and gas production Håvard Devold.

While there are oil or gas only installations, more often the well-stream will consist of a full range of
Crude oil refineries employ some of the United States’ top scientists, engineers, and safety professionals to ensure that products are produced efficiently and safely. US refineries process about 17 million barrels of crude oil a day. Refinery configurations vary, but US refineries are undeniably some of the world’s most sophisticated.
