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.

An evaluation of the effects of the tax on refined petroleum products in the Philippines
Energy Economics, 1993Abstract This paper uses an aggregate modelling approach to assess the effect of taxes on refined petroleum products in the Philippine economy. The approach used in the analysis consists of a general equilibrium model comprising 14 producing sectors, 14 consuming sectors, 3 household categories classified by income and a government.

Assessment of the impact of the tax on refined petroleum products in the Philippines
Applied Energy, 1993This paper uses an aggregate modelling approach to assess the impact of taxes in refined-petroleum products on the Philippine's economy. The approach used in the analysis consists of a general equilibrium model composed of 14 producing sectors, 14 consuming sectors, three household categories classified by income, and a government.

Application of the luciferase cell culture bioassay for the detection of refined petroleum products
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2002A luciferase cell culture-based bioassay, developed to detect 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-like activity of halo-genated and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, was optimized to detect refined petroleum products and to determine their relative inducing potency.

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

An MILP model for scheduling the operation of a refined petroleum products distribution system
Operational Research, 2015Transportation is one of the core components of the oil supply chain which needs rigorous optimization tools. Refined product pipelines are the preferred transportation option compared with other ones such as rail, road tankers and coastal vessels because they are reliable and economical.

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 ...

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.

Applied Geography, 1986
Abstract This paper analyses the transportation of refined petroleum products in the USSR, a chronic problem because of inefficiencies in the location of refineries and the mismatch between output mix and local consumption patterns. Using a network simulation to generate an optimal hypothetical pattern of flows from refineries to consumers, it is ...
