Book Synopsis U. S. Petroleum Refining Industry and the Globalization of Petroleum Products by : Collin T. Roberts
Download or read book U. S. Petroleum Refining Industry and the Globalization of Petroleum Products written by Collin T. Roberts and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. petroleum refining industry -- the largest refining industry in the world -- experienced a period of high product prices and industry profits from the early 2000s through about 2007. Since the recession of 2007 to 2009, the industry has been in transition. Federal and state agencies regulate petroleum refining and the use of petroleum products to protect human health and the environment, as well as for other purposes. EPA, DOT, and California strengthened five key regulations, including EPA and DOT's coordinated fuel economy and GHG vehicle emission standards, and EPA's RFS, which has required that refiners and others ensure transportation fuels include increasing amounts of renewable fuels such as ethanol produced from corn. This book examines major changes that have recently affected the industry and the future of the industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To better understand how changes in domestic and international petroleum products markets have affected prices, GAO was asked to evaluate trends in (1) the international trade of petroleum products, (2) refining capacity and intensity of refining capacity use internationally and in the United States, (3) international and domestic crude oil and petroleum product inventories, and (4) domestic petroleum supply infrastructure. To address these objectives, we reviewed numerous studies, evaluated data, and spoke to many industry officials and experts and agency officials. International trade in petroleum products has expanded over the past two decades, making markets for gasoline and other petroleum products increasingly global in nature. Recent plans and mandates in the United States and other countries to greatly expand the use of biofuels blended with petroleum products--for example, ethanol blended with gasoline and biodiesel blended with petroleum diesel--may have the unintended effect of reducing opportunities for trade because blending different levels of biofuels with petroleum blending stocks will require changes to these blending stocks and thereby reduce their fungibility. For most of the past 25 years, there has been excess refining capacity globally, but this excess has shrunk considerably in recent years as demand has increased faster than capacity growth, causing refineries to run closer to their production capacity, and contributing to recent increases in petroleum product prices, price volatility, and refining profits. However, experts say it is unclear whether or for how long the current market tightness will continue, in part because of uncertainties about how much additional refining capacity will actually be built in the face of rising construction costs and initiatives that may reduce future demand for petroleum products such as through the blending of large volumes of biofuels into the transportation fuels markets. When measured as average days of consumption, inventories of petroleum products and crude oil in the United States indicate a general decline over the past 20 years. A number of factors have contributed to this decrease in the United States, including reductions in crude oil production and the number of refineries as well as efforts to reduce inventory holding costs by applying advances in technology. Lower operating costs associated with lower inventories may have translated into lower consumer prices during normal periods. However, lower than normal inventories can lead to higher or more volatile prices in the event of supply disruptions or surges in demand. The nation's petroleum product supply infrastructure is constrained in key areas and is likely to become increasingly constrained, unless timely investments are made. A constrained supply infrastructure can exacerbate price effects and price volatility due to a supply disruption. However, no central source of data tracks system bottlenecks. While there is widespread recognition that a study is needed to fully identify the extent of infrastructure inadequacy and the impact on prices, to date, no such analysis has been undertaken, though such a study was mandated by Congress in 2006 with a June 2008 deadline. Significant infrastructure expansion plans in the private sector could alleviate the stresses. However, a complex permitting and siting process involving as many as 11 federal agencies and numerous state and local stakeholders has slowed or impeded the expansion and construction of new pipelines. Unlike in the case of natural gas pipelines, no central federal agency acts to coordinate this permitting process.

Book Synopsis Oil Refining and the Petroleum Industry by : Matthew P. Brouwer
Download or read book Oil Refining and the Petroleum Industry written by Matthew P. Brouwer and published by . This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. petroleum refining industry experienced what some have called a "golden age" during the years 2004-2007. During this period, the demand for petroleum products, especially gasoline, increased rapidly both in the United States and world markets. Refiners found favorable price-spreads between heavy and light crude oils, as well as between crude oil and refined products. The industry operated plants at nearly maximum capacity and posted record profit levels. This book examines current production capacity of refineries operating in the U.S. and the sources and changes in crude oil supply; the changing characteristics of petroleum and petroleum product markets and a discussion of the policy and regulatory factors that are likely to affect the structure and performance of the industry during the next decade.
Book Synopsis Oil and World Power (Routledge Revivals) by : Peter R. Odell
Download or read book Oil and World Power (Routledge Revivals) written by Peter R. Odell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The oil industry is the world’s largest commercial enterprise. Its extent is global; international issues are consistently influenced by considerations of oil production and consumption, while the international communications networks of the larger oil companies rival those of many nations. In this, the eighth edition of Oil and World Power, published in 1986, Peter Odell explains the complexities of this gigantic empire and its influence on the world. The far-reaching chapters discuss the U.S.A, the Soviet Union, O.P.E.C., Japan and the oil-consuming countries of the developing world. Evaluating the changing patterns of oil supply and the dramatic fall in oil prices in 1986, Odell proposes a number of forward-thinking conclusions surrounding the relationship between oil in global politics and economic development. This is an exceptionally interesting and relevant work, of great value to those with an interest in the oil industry, global power and international economic development.

Book Synopsis World Refinery Industry by : Lakdasa Wijetilleke
Download or read book World Refinery Industry written by Lakdasa Wijetilleke and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The oil refining industry is a critical link in the energy chain in many developing and industrialized countries, transforming crude oil into transport fuels, residual fuel oil, and other products such as kerosene, used in developing countries for lighting and cooking. The present report reviews the physical structure and process configuration of the world refining industry in the mid-1980s. It analyzes the factors influencing demand for petroleum derivatives and forecasts future demand patterns on a regional basis through 1995. Based on this analysis and on the potential for interregional trade in petroleum products, estimates are made of future regional investment requirements in additional conversion capacity, improved energy efficiency, rehabilitation and related areas. The implications of changes in the institutional framework of the industry are also discussed, specifically the expansion in the role of publicly-owned national oil companies relative to the private multinationals. Policy issues examined include the pricing of petroleum products, the frequent need for corporate, financial and managerial restructuring in the public sector and the potential future role of private capital.
