2.4 PROCESSING AND MANUFACTURING PROJECTS 



Pollution is a major concern of the petroleum processing and products 

 manufacturing industry. Transporation problems, land use, community 

 revenue problems, and the psychological effects of intrusion can also 

 create difficulties in selecting a site. Few communities want a refinery 

 or petrochemical plant because one or more of these problems is attributed 

 to these facilities. Fortunately, existing infrastructure can handle 

 much of the facility needs created by anticipated OCS oil and gas recovery 

 in frontier areas. 



The processing and manufacturing projects presented in this section 

 are: 



2.4.1 Refineries 



2.4.2 Petrochemical Industries
