Trends in refinery capacity and utilization-petroleum refineries in the United States-foreign refinery exporting centers. An interim update for US portion only
Abstract
Reasons for the increase in crude oil imports are discussed, such as the two tier crude pricing system and the entitlements program. The decrease in imports of petroleum products are due to the economic situation, decreased demand, lack of Government policy, changes in oil import policies, rapid inflation, and soaring refinery costs. The report contains numerous tables which illustrate these trends.
