Thus an analysis of oil  policy is of considerable interest from energy policy and  planning point of view.  The basic purpose of this study is to establish oil  refinery model in order to use as a tool for analysing oil  policy. Linear programming is the methodology to optimize the  refinery ' s profit level at the given various conditions. Oil  refinery mode l are used for the analysis of ex-refinery price  for petroleum products , the expansion of oil refinery capacity  and environmental policy related with oil matter.  The results show that the deregulation o f ex-refinery  price for petroleum products should be proceeded when the  local oil products are sufficient f or the total requirements.  The expansion of refinery capacities are found to be urgently  carried out considering the growth of oil products demand  during the Seventh plan (1992-1996). The capability of existing  facilities in oil refinery to produce unleaded gasoline are  also studied and to found that, based on ex is ting facilities ,  the refining cost of unleaded gasoline is very high comparing  with the imported price . 0aPetroleum refineriesxThailand1 aZhai Youg-Ping, eChairperson1 aBo, Khin, eExamination Committee0 aSurapong Chiraratananon,eExamination Committee2 aThe Commission of the European Communities, eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
