Meanwhile, as a result of global economic trends, most new capacity is now into operation in Asia and the Middle East where growth in demand is greater. There are few viable green field projects in Europe and North America, where demand is stagnant and regulatory obstacles are numerous. Despite this , changes in product slate combined with the strictest specifications make many refiners in these regions are still required to invest in improving operations as a cost of staying in business . At the same time, a number of other non-economic drivers for refinery investment often this is as a result of government intervention, for example - environmental change legislation or investment incentives to mitigate security of supply. In other cases, companies seem willing to invest in the refining sector economy to achieve the objectives marginal parallel such as Chinese investment in African refineries seeking access to upstream resources. Oils & Allied Mixed Hydrocarbons Adding Tracking Numbers The general economy or the viability of a refinery depends on the interaction of three key elements: Choice of crude oil used or shale oil, the refining equipment complexity or refinery configuration, and the desired type and quality of the products produced or slate product. Slate Crude oil is the major input in the petroleum refining industry. Even some oil exporting countries, transport costs associated with the movement of crude oil from oil fields consuming regions and the largest variety of quality oil that is cheaper to distant refineries using imported crude oil. Similar factors have led to the development of modular mini - refineries in oil-producing regions. Modular mini refineries may be located near the source of crude oil to minimize raw logistics and distribution cost. This approach has been successfully applies in places such as Kurdistan, Indonesia, West Africa and western Siberia. With more expensive, light sweet crude requires less refining update, but supplies Light , sweet crude are declining and the differential with heavy and sour crudes is increasing. The use of cheaper heavy crude means more investment in the modernization process. Costs and ROI Periods for refining units must weigh the expected costs of oil and price differential between light and heavy crude projected. The largest expansion of the complex refineries is driven by this, due to better operational efficiencies and the ability to process cheaper, heavier crudes. Larger units can more easily recover the substantial capital cost of secondary conversion capability, such as a "coker" or hydro - cracking. However, if lighter crudes are sweeter has a mini - Modular
refinery with only primary distillation capacity in the right conditions may still have significant competitive advantages. This unit requires much less capital but is faster project implementation and is more flexible to respond to changes in demand rapid development regions.
