HP Impact: Lukoil projects energy trends out to 2025
Lukoil recently offered an outlook on the long-term prospects for the global hydrocarbon processing industry. The outlook’s objective is to analyze trends that will (in Lukoil’s view) determ..
Brazil to raise gasoline, diesel prices by 5%
Petrobras sells gasoline at about a 30% discount to international benchmark prices, with the government reluctant to authorize higher prices for fear of stoking inflation. The subsidized fuel sales have caused steep losses in Petrobras's refining division, thus raising concerns over investment plans.
Indonesia could drive gasoline markets by 2018
Indonesia’s gasoline deficit and imports will exceed the US and Mexico, reversing trade flows and replacing the US as the main driver of global gasoline trade and prices.
China may raise fuel prices amid tighter standards
The National Development and Reform Commission, China's top economic planning agency, said higher costs to improve nationwide fuel quality will be borne by both the refining industry and its consumers.
Brazil to allow Petrobras to raise gasoline prices
The price increase of about 8% for gasoline at the refinery gate would help shore up Petrobras's finances ahead of the sale of Brazil's largest offshore oil discovery under new production-sharing deals.
Case history: Optimization of FCCU with multivariate statistical modeling
Process models and simulation methods can be used to simulate the fluidized-bed catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) process.a,b Likewise, kinetic or multivariate statistical models have been used. Rigorous..
Processing shale oils in FCC: Challenges and opportunities
Detailed feed analysis and cracking studies aid refiners in understanding how best to optimize operations and maximize FCC value when processing shale oils.
Reduce salt corrosion rates with stronger base amines
When processing discounted crude oils, one of the primary challenges refiners face is under-salt corrosion in crude unit distillation overhead systems.
Catalyst systems offer flexibility for hydroprocessing applications
Refinersa re strongly motivated to evaluate and select premier catalyst systems for the production of both diesel products from their hydrocracking and diesel treating units.
Improved oxidation process increases sulfur recovery with Claus unit
Since its development in 1936, the “modified Claus” technology has been the preferred process used by refineries and gas processing plants for the recovery of sulfur from acid-gas streams. M..
