The study of the development of the world markets of petroleum products in the period from 1950 to 2021 allows us to conclude that up to 2014 there was a steady increase in the total capacity of the world oil industry . The increase in capacity occurred against the background of a quantitative decrease in oil refineries and an increase in their production capacity. The decrease in the number of small oil refining units was accompanied by an increase in the average capacity in the oil industry.

Global developments in the oil refining industry are related to the ability of the producing countries to raise the level of operational performance of the refineries by increasing the filtering capacities, raising the percentage of hydrogen treatment process capacity and raising the ratio of operations to improve the octane number to the distillation capacity, to diversify production with a variety of goods with high added value, and reach the level Productivity, which meets global environmental standards and enhances its competitiveness in global markets. Achieving this goal collides with a number of environmental, economic and technological difficulties and constraints. In order to discuss these topics, the research was divided into six axes, the first focused on introducing the oil industry and petroleum products. As for the second axis, it dealt with the importance of the oil refining industry, and the third dealt with developments in the oil refining industry in the world, the fourth discussed the operational performance of oil refineries in the world, the fifth reviewed the experience of Saudi Arabia, and the sixth discussed briefly the Chinese experience in the field of the refining industry. The study reached a number of conclusions, the most important of which is that there is a geographical shift in the global oil refining industry in favor of the Asia-Pacific region, and that the total filtering capacity will increase by about 7.8 million b / d during the period 2018-2023, and most of this increase will come from the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East regions, Especially in countries that produce points such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Iran, The research recommended the necessity of dealing with the refining industry as a strategic industry, by adopting strategies aimed at producing and exporting high-quality petroleum products that are compatible with international standards.

Primarily owing to the special nature of the fluids handled in the oil industry, welding has thoroughly established itself, and is being increasingly employed in all phases of oil refining and handling. Various types of tanks, treatment vessels, and pipe lines of all-welded construction are now being used for the most searching fluids, with complete absence of the joint leakage which occurred with the older methods of construction. Welding methods also show substantial reductions in material and site costs. In order to indicate the very large number of examples of welded construction as applied to the storage and transport of oil, the subject is dealt with on the basis of a flow sheet which shows generally how an oil, found abroad and conveyed to this country for refining, is handled from the time it leaves the well until it is ready for the consumer. Reference is mostly made to commonly used liquid petroleum products such as motor spirit, lubricating oil, furnace, and Diesel oil. The handling of these products is described with reference to the methods employed by one or two well known concerns, but such methods are typical of those employed in other parts of the world.

The Australian refining industry began with the establishment of two small refineries in the mid-1920s. However, it was not until the mid-1950s, after the construction of four large new refineries, that this industry emerged as an important factor in meeting the domestic demand for petroleum products. The refining companies are now able to meet about 90% of Australia's demand for refined petroleum products. This efficient industry provides a wide range of products of varying quality specifications.Existing and probable new government regulations relating to lead in motor spirit and to the level of emissions from refinery plant will necessitate a high level of investment in refinery plant. In the near future, our crude supply pattern is likely to become more dependent on Middle Eastern sources whilst the domestic market for refined products is trending towards a whiter barrel. Major capital investment in refinery plant will be required to adjust to these influences.A major problem facing the Australian oil industry is its recent low profitability. Reduced cash flows constrain the ability of the refining industry to undertake new investment.Actions by the OPEC countries have reduced the degree of vertical integration in the international oil industry and thereby reduced the profit earned on the extraction and sale of crude. Therefore the ability and the need for the major companies to support downstream operations as an aid to the sale of crude has also been reduced. The Australian oil refining and distribution industry must compete for investment funds with other companies in the international oil industry. Its current low return on funds and its debt gearing, already comparatively high by international standards, means that profitability must be restored before substantial new investment can be prudently undertaken.

The widespread spread of the new disease, which has covered almost all countries of the world, has led to a decrease in their economic activity and, as a consequence, to a reduction in the consumption of hydrocarbon resources. This has significantly affected the economy of Kazakhstan and, in particular, the oil industry. Such an unfavorable development of the country’s economy is aggravated by the instability of world prices for hydrocarbon resources. This process is influenced by both political factors and the steady increase in supply over demand that has developed in recent times on world markets. Under the influence of such unfavorable factors on the efficiency of the oil and gas industry, the main directions for increasing it are the reduction of production costs and the increase in the output of marketable products in hydrocarbon processing.

The question of the development of the oil industry in the Kuban regions in the late 1920s and in the first half of the 1930s is considered. Attention is paid to the state of oil production and oil refining at the end of the NEP, the reasons for the difficult situation in the oil industry. The results of a comparative analysis of the potential and activities of the corresponding Kuban refineries that were part of various oil trusts are presented. The classification of enterprises is proposed depending on their profile (oil production and oil refining) and production value. A review of the production life of these enterprises is carried out. Their role in the regional economy and in strengthening interregional economic ties is assessed. The relevance of the study is due to the need to consider the degree of participation of oil industry enterprises in the Kuban in solving important economic problems that go beyond this region. The situation in oil production and oil refining as an important segment of heavy industry located on the territory of an agricultural region is analyzed and reconstructed in the article. Questions are raised about the specifics of the development of the oil industry in the Kuban, about the form of subordination of its enterprises. Particular attention is paid to the problems of staffing, technical equipment of oil producing and oil refineries and their impact on the implementation of complex planned targets. It has been proved that the dynamics of the development of the Kuban oil-bearing regions and the development of oil refineries depended on the introduction of new drilling methods, on the intensification of exploitation of both developed and new oil-bearing regions.

The current paper analyzes the reasons behind the difficulties of the Italian olive oil industry to compete in the world markets. The analysis highlights that these complexities can be related with two core factors: stagnant demand in the main producer/consumer countries and strong competition arising from the Spanish olive oil industry increasingly involved also in processing and trade. In addition, these weakness factors are boosted by the market power exerted by large retail chains that are now the main channel in which olive oil is retailed in the domestic market.

In the article, based on the analysis of data in open literature sources, it was concluded that in the USSR, in the period 1950-1990, there were at least 10 tank fires per year, in the world - 8, 2000-2020 in Russia - at least 5 fires in year, in Vietnam 1950-1990 - not less than 0,85 fires per year. And it is noted that since 2007, there have been no fires at the facilities of the oil refining complex in Vietnam. An algorithm is presented that allows you to select options for the location of personnel positions, for supplying a fire extinguishing agent for extinguishing a fire (by mixing) in tanks (in the absence of a roof) and for cooling the walls of burning and adjacent to the burning tanks. Using this algorithm, an analysis was carried out of the possible locations of the positions of the barrels in the tank farms of the Vietnamese oil refineries "Dung Quat" and "Ngi Son" for extinguishing and cooling the tanks during their burning.

It is known that changes in the flow rate of the medium can directly affect the safety of the process of refining oil and petroleum products. Therefore, the use of high-precision flow meters is one of the safety barriers to prevent possible accidents and incidents. Unfortunately, the task of parametric measurement of the consumption of oil and petroleum products before and after their processing in most cases causes certain difficulties. For this reason, each specific measurement task should be approached from a different perspective, offering different means and methods of measurement, allowing to achieve the most reliable and accurate data on the measured flow rate. Operating conditions at the oil refineries place high demands on flow meters. Conventional orifice flow meters, which are often used to measure flow in the oil refineries, have certain disadvantages: they require frequent maintenance, process interruptions during installation, cause pressure losses in the pipe. Based on the experience of foreign companies in replacing insertion flow meters with clamp-on flow meters, it was decided to use non-invasive (non-contact) flow meters for medium measurement. The advantages of these flow meters are that there is no need to cut pipes, which practically eliminates the risk of leaks occurrence during installation. Also, the ultrasonic flow meter does not have direct contact with the measured medium, which allows avoiding contamination of both the flow meter itself and the medium, as a result, increasing the accuracy and durability of flow measurement at the site. Research objectives: substantiation of the possibility of operation of an ultrasonic flow meter at the oil refining site, recommendations for the use of various sensors, as well as selection of the optimal installation site for the device. The flow rate readings matched the previously established readings taken from the orifice meters. As a result, it is concluded that the ultrasonic flow meters can be used to measure the flow rate of stripped oil.
