The petroleum sector briefing notes up to this issue have focused on upstream exploration and production. But crude oil has to be traded, refined, and marketed before it can be used. This note describes what is involved in refining. It outlines the characteristics of various refined petroleum products, followed by a brief summary of main refining processes. This briefing note provides technical background information on the characteristics of fuels which refineries produce and the refining processes that are needed to make the fuels. The next briefing note will describe what key global trends are affecting the refining industry.
