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.

Dangerous properties of petroleum‐refining products: Carcinogenicity of motor fuels (Gasoline)
Teratogenesis, Carcinogenesis, and Mutagenesis, 1990AbstractGasoline contains large numbers of dangerous and cancer‐causing chemicals such as benzene, butadiene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, trimethyl pentane, methyltert‐butylether (MTBE) and many others. For the U.S. alone approximately 140 billion gallons of gasoline were consumed in 1989.

Middle East Oil, Gas and Geosciences Show (MEOS GEO)
This research presents an innovative method for refining crude oil using electromagnetic waves tuned to the resonant frequencies of specific petroleum components. The approach offers a cleaner, more energy-efficient, and precise alternative to conventional distillation tower methods.

Refined Politics: Petroleum Products, Neoliberalism, and the Ecology of Entrepreneurial Life
Journal of American Studies, 2012Oil is often thought of as a sole commodity with singular powers to shape geopolitics, economic development, and environmental change. Yet the complex hydrocarbon assemblage of crude oil is only commodified through the refining process, which produces a multiplicity of products (e.g. gasoline, heating oil, petrochemicals).
