I. Introduction -- 1 I. INTRODUCTION The European Commission has concerns regarding the current high oil price environment, and the EU’s increasing reliance on trade to balance its refined product demand. The history of the refining industry from the mid 1980s is characterised by over capacity and a sustained period of low profitability, such that investment in the industry in Europe and the U.S. has primarily been focussed on making mandatory improvements to product quality and emissions rather than adding new capacity. A combination of demand growth and refinery capacity rationalisation has resulted in a much closer balance between refinery capacity and the demand for refined products. Recent disruptions caused by extreme weather events in the U.S., losses of refinery capacity as a result of operating problems and a period of rapid demand growth have resulted in the current exceptional crude oil prices and refinery margins. The concerns about the future availability of refinery capacity and its potential impact on crude oil prices and the European economy has prompted the Commission, along with OPEC, to seek a study that examines the likely future developments in the oil industry. This study originated from the ongoing Energy Dialogue between the European Commission and OPEC, which in December 2005 recognized the effects of the tightness in the global refining system on world markets and market stability. This report documents the results of this study, which has been prepared in response to the terms of reference issued by the Commission. The study region is defined to include the following countries/areas: The European Union (E.U.): unless otherwise noted, this comprises the current 27- member state Union. Historical data for the EU shall also refer to this definition where the data is available. Where deemed appropriate and so noted, for example for crude oil production, this shall be expanded to “Europe” which includes Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, and other non-EU countries of Europe. North Africa: Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia The Middle East: Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Yemen Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) China India United States of America (U.S.) The study report is presented in three main parts. These cover the historical period from 1990 to 2006 and provides a background to the current situation (Section IIIA), an analysis of the near term future in the period 2007 to 2012 (Section IIIB), and the longer term developments in . 2 -- I. Introduction the period 2013 to 2020 (Section IIIC). The subdivision of the future is made to recognise that little impact resulting from uncommitted investment can be made before 2012. Certain topics, notably future refined product demand and refinery economics, are covered in one section as these tend to respond to gradual trends and environmental changes. Section II presents an Executive Summary of the study, which provides an overview of the study and more importantly the main conclusions of the work. Section III is split into the three subsections discussed above. This report has been prepared for the sole benefit of the client and co-sponsors of the study. Neither the report nor any part of the report shall be provided to third parties without the written consent of Purvin & Gertz. Any third party in possession of the report may not rely upon its conclusions without the written consent of Purvin & Gertz. Possession of the report does not carry with it the right of publication. Purvin & Gertz conducted this analysis and prepared this report utilizing reasonable care and skill in applying methods of analysis consistent with normal industry practice. All results are based on information available at the time of review. Changes in factors upon which the review is based could affect the results. Forecasts are inherently uncertain

In FY17, India had 234.5 MMTPA of refining capacity, making it the 2nd largest refiner in Asia. By the end of Second largest refiner in 2017, the oil refining capacity of India is expected to rise and reach more than 310 million tonnes. Private Asia companies own about 38.21 per cent of total refining capacity World’s fourth-largest . India’s energy demand is expected to double to 1,516 Mtoe by 2035 from 723.9 Mtoe in 2016. Moreover, the energy consumer country’s share in global primary energy consumption is projected to increase by 2-folds by 2035 Fourth-largest consumer . In 2016-17, India consumed 193.745 MMT of petroleum products. In 2017-18, up to October, the figure stood of oil and petroleum at 115.579 MMT. products . India was 3rd largest consumer of crude oil and petroleum products in the world in 2016. LNG imports into the country accounted for about one-fourth of total gas demand, which is estimated to further increase by two times, over next five years. To meet this rising demand the country plans to increase its LNG import capacity to 50 million tonnes in the coming years. Fourth-largest LNG . India increasingly relies on imported LNG; the country is the fourth largest LNG importer and accounted for importer in 2016 5.68 per cent of global imports.

  • Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines for Petroleum Refining
    ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH, AND SAFETY GUIDELINES PETROLEUM REFINING November 17, 2016 ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH, AND SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR PETROLEUM REFINING INTRODUCTION 1. The Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Guidelines are technical reference documents with general and industry-specific examples of Good International Industry Practice (GIIP).1 When one or more members of the World Bank Group are involved in a project, these EHS Guidelines are applied as required by their respective policies and standards. These industry sector EHS Guidelines are designed to be used together with the General EHS Guidelines document, which provides guidance to users on common EHS issues potentially applicable to all industry sectors. For complex projects, use of multiple industry sector guidelines may be necessary. A complete list of industry sector guidelines can be found at: www.ifc.org/ehsguidelines. 2. The EHS Guidelines contain the performance levels and measures that are generally considered to be achievable in new facilities by existing technology at reasonable costs. Application of the EHS Guidelines to existing facilities may involve the establishment of site-specific targets, with an appropriate timetable for achieving them. 3. The applicability of the EHS Guidelines should be tailored to the hazards and risks established for each project on the basis of the results of an environmental assessment in which site-specific variables— such as host country context, assimilative capacity of the environment, and other project factors—are taken into account. The applicability of specific technical recommendations should be based on the professional opinion of qualified and experienced persons. 4. When host country regulations differ from the levels and measures presented in the EHS Guidelines, projects are expected to achieve whichever is more stringent.
