NOW ON THE OIL REFINING MAP

Paris, Sept. 17.

The Persian oil crisis and the closing down of the Abadan refinery will not mean that 'Europe will go short of refined oil, according to a report just published by the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (ÕEEC) in Paris.

Persia only supplies European countries with 5,000,000 of the 50 million tons shipped from the Middle East each year. Europe itself extracts 3,000,000 tons of crude oil, and the discovery last year of new deposits in Northern Italy may raise this figure to five million tons.

Before the war, Europe relled that European consumption of almost entirely on the United fuel would increase by nine per States for refined oil. But since cent for each post war year. The 1047 it has doubled its own actual increase has been 17 per refining capacity and may be cent. entirely self-sufficient by 1954, according to the OEEC report.

New refineries in Europe, costing a total of $1,000 million (about £333,400,000) partly Ananced by Marshall Aid have helped to put Europe "an the map" in the refining in dustry.

These refineries became cssen- tial to European recovery when America, once the world's biggest exporter of refined oil, itself began consuming more and exporting less immediately after the

wor

At the same time, crude oil extraction in the Middle East, especially in Saudi Arabia, in- creased out of all proportion to its own

own refining capacity, while increased industriul

activity in Europe, with postwar agricul- Tural

mechanisation itself, spelled a sharp rise in the con- sumption of all types of fuel in Europe.

If European countries had not embarked on an ambitious pro- gramme of refinery factory building it 1940 and 1047, OEEC member countries would have had to spend precious dollars to pay for fuel refined in the United States.

LONG-TERM

PLAN

Europe's savings, OEEC ex- perts calculate, are about $400 million about £133,400,000) a year.

Refineries which

before the

war produced 20,000,000 tons of fuel now, together with new factories, are turning out 01 million tons year.

A present, Europe is still importing

about 1 milion tons of refined ull a year, mostly for merchant shipping and overseas territories needs.

The QEEC refinery construe- tion plan calls for production of 65 million tons in 1952-53, and 75 million tons in 1054. The plan is a long-term one, and its effects are necessarily gradual for, as M. Rene Marjo lin,

the OEEC

Secretary General, stressed Press conference, "it takes two, at a recent

and sometimes three, years to build a modern refinery,

To rationalise" the refining Industry in Europe, OEEC mem- ber countries promised to keep the Fuel Committee informed of any steps they proposed lu take to increase their refining capacity, and to abide by the Committee's advice and de- cisions.

CRISIS AVERTED

In some cases, the Committee vetoed the construction of new refineries which they thought would have too small a turn- over or would be too expensive to build.

In

some cases, too, they re- commended countries to scrap existing refineries which were out-of-date uneconomic to

run.

об

of the $1,000 million needed to finance the new reßnery building. about $850 million (about £284 million) worth (in hon-dollar currchey) was put up by Europe, either by the Indus- ries themselves or by Govern- ment subsidy.

About $150 million (about £50 million) in dollar currency went towards the purchase, in he United States, of capital equipment. To this Marshall Aid contributed a much-needed $35 million (about £11,670,000).

Fuel experts here state that Europe would have been faced with a very serious problém, if, instead of expanding and almost re-creating its own refining industry after the war, it had consistently relied

on Persian supplies-Reuter.
