- eds.
The edited proceedings of a conference addressing the question of foreign vs domestic oil refining are presented. Trading dependence on foreign crude oil for dependence on foreign refined products is resulting because US refineries are not able to handle the demand for petroleum products even if operating at capacity. The cost involved in building up the US refinery capacity is weighed against last employment, detrimental balance of payment, inflation, and national security risks due to dependence on foreign refineries. Questions of converting present refineries geared to process light, sweet oils to the processing of heavy, sour crudes are also discussed. (DMC)
