Significant Events in Petroleum Processing 1861-2000

The use of kerosene lamps starts to decline Gottlieb Daimler, Wilhelm Mayback and (separately) Karl Benz build gasoline powered automobiles Ford Motor Company offers Model Ts for US$950 each William Burton and Robert Humphreys develop thermal cracking Gulf Oil builds the worlds first drive-in filling station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania UOP commercializes the Dubbs thermal cracking process Standard Oil of Indiana commercializes the Burton process for delayed coking at Whiting, Indiana UOP introduces the catalytic polymerization of olefins to form gasoline Eugene Houdry, working for Sun Oil, patents Houdry Catalytic Cracking (HCC) A consortium of refiners develops sulfuric acid alkylation, which is first commercialized at the Humble (now Exxon Mobil) refinery in Baytown, Texas Phillips develops HF alkylation Standard Oil of New Jersey (now Exxon Mobil) commercializes the FCC process at Baton Rouge, Louisiana Old Dutch Refining in Muskegon, Michigan starts the worlds first catalytic reforming based on the UOP Platforming processes

Catalytic hydrotreating is patented by Raymond Fleck and Paul Nahin of Union Oil UOP introduces C4 and C5/C6 isomerization processes Standard Oil of California (now Chevron) introduces catalytic hydrocracking The world celebrates Earth Day. The newly created US Environmental Protection Agency passes the Clean Air Act, which requires a 90% reduction in auto emissions by 1975. The European Union issues similar requirements Mobil invents ZSM-5 . During the next three decades, this shape-selective catalyst finds uses in numerous processes, including FCC, catalytic dewaxing, and the conversion of methanol to gasoline. The catalytic converter goes commercial. The phase-out of tetraethyl lead begins The U.S. Congress issues the Clean Air Act Amendment of 1990, which lay the framework for reformulated gasoline and low-sulfur diesel Several processes are developed to remove sulfur from gasoline. These include SCANfining (Exxon), OCTGAIN(Mobil), Prime G (Axens), and S Zorb (Philips) Chevron commercializes Isodewaxing for converting waxy paraffins into high-quality lube base stock The European Commission issues the Auto Oil II report, which includes a timetable for low-sulfur gasoline and ultra-low-sulfur diesel

West Texas intermediate (WTI), also known as Texas light sweet, is a type of crude oil used as a benchmark in oil pricing and is the underlying commodity of New York Mercantile Exchange's oil futures contracts. The price of WTI is often referenced in North American news reports on oil prices, alongside the price of North Sea Brent crude. Other important oil markers include the Dubai crude and the OPEC reference basket.
