The refining of oil means to make the most of the oil products and convert it to products of high commercial value. Depending on the objective, generally, these processes are undertaken in a refinery. The refinery is the place where the oil is processed to extract marketable fractions. The oil, which is a mixture of various hydrocarbon products, to be used in different branches of industry and combustion engines must undergo a series of treatments. Very often, the quality of crude depends largely on its origin. Its source highly determines its color, viscosity, sulfur content, pour point and mineral content, which mostly varies for each type. Also, the structure of each refinery must take into account all these factors.

In addition, a refinery must be designed to treat a broad range of crudes. Of course, there are refineries designed to process only single crude, but these are special cases where the estimated gross resource is quite significant. Refineries are classified as either simple or complex refineries. Simple refineries are those consisting of only a few processing units while complex refineries have more.

Indeed, depending on the purpose and location of the refinery, also according to the nature of the crude processed (e.g. Gross BTS or HRT, crude naphthenic or aromatic) the structure of the refinery to be built is different, depending on the requirements. Often in Europe, the United States and generally in areas where fuel requirements are high, the structure is complex refineries.
