Economic Profile and Trends
Value of Shipments | Annual Production | Labor Productivity
About 90% of the products from petroleum refineries are fuels. These include gasoline, distillate fuel oil (diesel, home heating oil, industrial fuel oil), jet fuels (kerosene and naphtha types), residual fuel oil (bunker fuel, boiler fuel), liquefied petroleum gases (methane, propane, ethane, butane), coke, and kerosene. Non-fuel products include asphalt, road oil, lubricants, naphtha solvents, waxes, non-fuel coke, and petrochemicals (ethylene, propylene, butylene, benzene, xylene). By volume, refineries produce more gasoline than any other product. In 2000 refineries supplied about 17 million barrels per day of refined products. [DOE/EIA 2000]
