Sellbyville, DE -- (SBWire) -- 02/21/2019 --The significant increase in exploration of oil and gas resources elevated the oil refining market to a valuation of more than USD 6 trillion in 2017, with vast investments being done to match the refinery and oil extraction capacities. A stability in the prices of crude oil is being observed globally, renewing a sense of positivity in the marketplace post the 2013-14 slump, which had nearly devastated the oil refining companies. Continuous growth of the oil and gas sector owing to reinvigorated oil prices has attracted several industry giants to commission new oil processing plants, substantially boosting the oil refining industry. It is estimated that the total crude oil production throughout the world was 81.38 million barrels per day as of March 2018 and is an indication of the amount of input available for refineries, fueling the oil refining market expansion.
Essentially, oil in its crude form is not much beneficial but needs to be separated and refined for use in fuels and lubricants, while the byproducts of the refining process are vital in manufacturing petrochemical products like plastics and foams. The oil refining industry has majorly been stimulated by the increasing production of marketable and high-performance fuels for automobiles, airplanes and marine vessels. Furthering the market scope is the exponential rise in number of vehicles being made across the world, from private cars and commercial trucks to heavy industrial handling machines. Referring to the data issued by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, over 97 million vehicles were produced worldwide in 2017 and the figures are expected to jump up every year with a respective increase in fuel consumption.

Increasing investment toward the refurbishment, upgradation and expansion of existing refinery facilities will propel the oil refining market growth. In April 2018, Saudi Aramco announced an investment of USD 44 billion to construct integrated refinery and petrochemical complex in India. Rising concern to reduce the dependency on import of petroleum product will further escalate the industry share.
Growing concerns regarding environmental degradation and global warming has put major communities into high gears for implementing control on the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) arising from the transportation sector. Oil and gas consumers are expressing the need for producing more refined products that have lower carbon emissions, driving the technological and chemical innovations in the oil refining industry. Since emissions are still amplifying despite better efficiency of new vehicles, a European Union legislation aimed at improving the fuel quality requires that the GHG emissions from on road vehicle fuels should be cut by 10% by 2020, demonstrating a prolific future for the oil refining market.
The oil refining industry is indeed replete with many such investments that are anticipated to enhance the business outlook over the forthcoming years. Just few months back, Saudi Aramco, one of the phenomenal oil industry giants made its way to the frontpage with its announcement of investing around USD 44 billion in constructing integrated refinery complex in India. Citing yet another instance, Kuwait government has recently announced an investment of USD 17 billion in Mina Abdullah and Mina Al-Ahmadi refineries for upgradation purposes.
