Über dieses E-Book

The availability and continuity of Petroleum and Natural gas have become an important parameter for the growth of economy of any country. Specially the scarcity of the precious stock is reflected in the growing economies. Our country being poor in these resources, has to depend upon the ever increasing imports. Our crude production for decades together never crossed 34 MMT thus by 2010 we may have to import 130-150 MMTPA, though our refining capacity has gone up to 134 MMTPA with a present consumption of 110 MMTPA. With new discoveries and over-sea ventures by ONGC and other oil producing organizations, present production is better than what it was four decades ago.The present Fifth Edition is a value added text and taken care of many aspects of modern refining and Indian Industry.
