Subject Developments in oil refining. Significance The State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) will shake up the refining sector and petroleum products market later this year, when the SOCAR Turkey Aegean Refinery (STAR) is commissioned, Turkey’s fifth refinery and its first new one for three decades. With demand for products set to continue rising and flows of Iraqi crude to increase as Baghdad re-exerts control over its northern oilfields and export pipeline, two more refineries are planned, which could further reduce Turkish dependence on product imports. Impacts Corporate plans to expand refining chime with the political thaw in relations between Turkey and Iraq. STAR will refine heavy regional rather than light Azeri crudes -- the product mix includes petcoke, in great demand for cement manufacture. Tupras has huge volumes of petrol to export, mainly to the United States, because the tax regime inclines domestic drivers to use diesel. The preference for diesel over petrol is affecting air quality in Turkey’s cities.

Children Under 5

Small children, particularly those aged 1 to 5, often drink liquid hydrocarbons when these substances are left accessible to them by careless adults. The hydrocanbons most commonly ingested include petroleum solvents, dry cleaning fluids and spot removers, kerosene, lighten fluids, gasoline, and "mineral seal oil" which is found in many liquid polishes and waxes. For statistical purposes many surveys also include ingestions of turpentine, oil paints, stains and a variety of hydrocarbon-based preservatives. In 1972, petroleum products accounted for 4.6% (4,571 of 105,018 poisonings reported) of accidental ingestions in the United States among children under 5 years of age.1 This figure has remained virtually unchanged since 1969. In a hospital based study published by Deeths and Bneeden2 in 1971, ingestion of hydrocarbons was reported to be the second most common cause of admission to hospital for accidental poisoning in each of the years from 1962 to 1968. In the United States from 1951 through 1958, 763 people died following accidental ingestion of petroleum distillate and children under 5 years of age accounted for about 90% (680 of 760) of these deaths.3 However, statistics reveal a decreased mortality rate, with only nine hydrocarbon fatalities reported in 1972 for this same age group.1 Although a wide variety of hydrocarbons are involved in the accidental poisonings reported, most related publications have dealt with kerosene intoxication. The incidence rate and the mortality rate from kenosene ingestion is decreasing, although it continues to be a major problem in the United States. For children less than 5 years of age in 1972, there were 579 reported cases of kerosene ingestion of which two were fatal.1

ABSTRACT World production and transportation of petroleum products have reached such magnitudes that the United States must be prepared to cope with a massive pollution disaster near its coast. The problems of advance planning for cleanup of oil spills have been recognized for many years but received little active interest before the Torrey Canyon disaster in 1967. Following that incident the United States began developing national and regional oil spill contingency plans, and the first national plan was published in late 1968. The Water Quality Improvement Act of 1970 spurred additional efforts, resulting in publication of a more comprehensive national plan and completion of detailed regional plans. These plans created national and regional response teams and established responsibilities and procedures for responding to spills of oil and hazardous materials in U.S. waters with appropriate cleanup and control measures. The need for international contingency planning has been recognized during the past year, and some work has begun in this area.

Low Carbon Energy

This chapter discusses steps that could be taken to realize the long- term goal of reducing, if not eliminating, climate- altering emissions associated with the consumption of coal, oil, and natural gas. I choose to focus on initiatives that could be adopted over the next several decades to advance this objective in the United States. The key elements of the vision proposed for the United States should be applicable, however, also to China and to other large emitting countries. As indicated at the outset, the overall focus in this volume has been on the United States and China, the world’s largest emitters of greenhouse gases, recognizing at the same time differences in states of development and national priorities of the two countries. The vision I outline here for a low- carbon-energy future for the United States should apply also to other countries. The time scale for implementation may differ, however, from country to country, depending on details of local conditions and priorities— economic, social, and environmental. The data presented in Chapter 3 (Figs. 3.1 and 3.2) provide a useful starting point— essential background— for discussion of potential future scenarios (US EIA 2015). They define how energy is used in the current US economy and the services responsible for the related emissions, with key data summarized in Table 16.1. Generation of electricity was responsible for emission of 2,050 million tons of CO2 in 2013, 1,580 million tons from combustion of coal, and 442 million tons from natural gas, with a minor contri-bution, 34.7 million tons, from oil. The residential, commercial, and industrial sectors accounted, respectively, for 38%, 36%, and 26% of emissions associated with economy-wide consumption of electricity. The power sector was responsible for 38% of total national emissions. Transportation contributed an additional 1,826 million tons, 34% of the national total. The bulk of the emissions from transportation (98%) was associated with consumption of petroleum products, gasoline, diesel fuel, and jet fuel, with the balance from natural gas

The World

India is currently the third-largest global consumer of petroleum products after the United States and China. The country produces approximately 720,000 barrels of crude oil and 3.16 billion ft3 of gas per day and imports more than 80% of its oil and 50% of its gas needs. This large discrepancy between domestic supply and consumption has been rising rapidly of late. With an economy growing at 6%–8% per year, India's energy demand growth over the next couple of decades is forecast to be among the highest in the world. To mitigate the heavy dependence on imported energy, India has stepped up efforts in recent years to increase domestic production of oil and gas.

Any attempt to analyze fully this comprehensive and extremely complex subject would require at least a book, not a short paper. Businessmen in the American petroleum industry came face to face with governmental institutions in the United States on every plane from townships, counties, towns, and cities to states and the Federal authority. Since petroleum products entered into American trade with practically every national entity on the globe, producers, manufacturers, and marketers of oil were vitally affected by foreign legislation and administration of the laws in the various lands. No scholar has ventured as yet to investigate fully and evaluate carefully the historical relationship between government and oilmen on a local or state level, much less on a national or world-wide basis. This paper can only show the breadth of the subject and the size of the task presented to the historian.

Purification Of Water

Recently, the amount of natural waters contaminated with petroleum products, which enter surface sources together with wastewater, has increased. Therefore, the issues of natural water purification of petroleum products are given great importance. Purification of natural waters from petroleum products is possible by sorption and ultrafiltration methods. Kazan State University of Architecture and Engineering conducted research on the purification of natural waters from petroleum products in adsorption filters using various sorbents, as well as membrane separators with ultrafiltration modules from various manufacturers. As a loading of sorption filters, it is recommended to use activated charcoal as a sorbent that is optimal in terms of price and quality of water purification. The membrane modules manufactured in Europe and the United States, have a high cleaning effect from petroleum products and a sufficiently high productivity. However, they are extremely expensive.
