Transitions in the Chinese market for refined petroleum products
OPEC Energy Review, 2012AbstractChina's rapidly rising crude oil consumption has been a cause of concern, both for China's own energy security and the effects this rising demand has on world oil markets. However, one must disaggregate the domestic Chinese demand for petroleum products to reveal what sort of policy options might be sensible.

Inventories under Joint Production: An Empirical Analysis of Petroleum Refining [PDF]
Review of Economics and Statistics, 1997 This study examines the determinants of inventory investment under joint production. We simultaneously estimate a set of optimal sales relations, variable input demands, and a set of Euler equations for capital and inventories of raw materials, work in process, and final products in the petroleum refining industry.

PETROLEUM REFINING INDUSTRY: AN ASSESSMENT OF ITS PRODUCTION STRUCTURE*
Australian Economic Papers, 2006Cost structure of petroleum refining industry in Kuwait has been examined, with specific focus on factor substitution, and economies of scale and utilisation. This has been done by estimating translog cost functions, both long‐run and short‐run, using annual time‐series data covering the period from 1976 to 1998.

Estimation of production costs of complex petroleum refining processes
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils, 19711. The existing method for the calculation of production costs of complex processes is inadequate since it is based on the division of products into basic and side products and does not reveal the real costs involved in the production of individual products.

Refining for export and the convergence of petroleum product prices
Energy Economics, 2015Abstract The petroleum refining industry has changed over the past decades from one in which capacity primarily served local and regional markets to one in which trade in refined petroleum products has become more widespread. We investigate the hypothesis of increasing globalization by examining the convergence of prices for refined products across ...

Exergy Evaluation of Petroleum Production and Refining Processes
2012This chapter deals with the application of exergy analysis to primary and refining petroleum processes due to the important exergy consumption they require. It describes the exergy and thermoeconomic analysis of an offshore platform. The comparative performance of two artificial lift systems is presented and discussed in detail through a scenario of 25

Upgrading and Refining of Crude Oils and Petroleum Products by Ionizing Irradiation
Topics in Current Chemistry, 2016A general trend in the oil industry is a decrease in the proven reserves of light crude oils so that any increase in future oil exploration is associated with high-viscous sulfuric oils and bitumen. Although the world reserves of heavy oil are much greater than those of sweet light oils, their exploration at present is less than 12 % of the total oil ...

Characterization of naphthenic acids in crude oils and refined petroleum products
Fuel, 2019Abstract Naphthenic acids (NAs) or naphthenic acid fraction compounds (NAFCs) are generally recognized as a family of cycloaliphatic carboxylic acids naturally occurring in petroleum. These acid extractable organics (AEOs) from petroleum industry activities including oil sands produced waters (OSPW) have led to increasing environmental concern in ...

Price controls, price dispersion and the supply of refined petroleum products
Energy Economics, 1985Abstract This paper analyses the petroleum industry price and allocation controls which dominated US energy policy during the 1970s. It is emphasized that since controls on refined products tied maximum prices to costs of production, the market effects of this regulatory system were quite unusual.
