| Abstract | The issue of energy policy in the prospects of reducing
dependence on imported petrol e um products is of significant
interest to policy makers and planners. Thus an analysis of oil
policy is of considerable interest from energy policy and
planning point of view.
The basic purpose of this study is to establish oil
refinery model in order to use as a tool for analysing oil
policy. Linear programming is the methodology to optimize the
refinery ' s profit level at the given various conditions. Oil
refinery mode l are used for the analysis of ex-refinery price
for petroleum products , the expansion of oil refinery capacity
and environmental policy related with oil matter.
The results show that the deregulation o f ex-refinery
price for petroleum products should be proceeded when the
local oil products are sufficient f or the total requirements.
The expansion of refinery capacities are found to be urgently
carried out considering the growth of oil products demand
during the Seventh plan (1992-1996). The capability of existing
facilities in oil refinery to produce unleaded gasoline are
also studied and to found that, based on ex is ting facilities ,
the refining cost of unleaded gasoline is very high comparing
with the imported price . |
