YOUR USE OF THE INTERNATIONAL refining survey may be aided by the following information:
All country-by-country volumes are presented in calendar-day figures. An asterisk (*) beside a location indicates that the figure was reported as a stream-day figure and has been converted to a calendar day figure with the conversion factor 0.95 for crude oil and 0.9 for catalytic cracking and catalytic reforming units.
Barrels per calendar day (b/cd) is the maximum number of barrels of input that can be processed during a 24-hour period, after making allowances for the following:
- Types and grades of inputs to be processed.
- Types and grades of products to be manufactured.
- Environmental constraints associated with refinery operations.
- Scheduled downtime such as mechanical problems, repairs and slowdowns.
Barrels per stream day (b/sd) is the amount a unit can process when running at full capacity under optimal feedstock and product slate conditions.
