The energy efficiency of crude oil refining in Brazil: A
In the 1930s the energy efficiency of power plants was 17.5%, and energy efficiency in the conversion of heat from industrial furnaces at a high temperature was around 10%. This is the same as processing a barrel of oil and spending about 13% of its energy, or US $0.25 per barrel of COC with a nominal price of oil of US $2.00.

Estimates of the current penetration for the identified energy efficiency measures benchmark the energy requirements to those reported in U.S. DOE 2010 data.
ITP Petroleum Refining: Energy Efficiency Roadmap
Energy Efficiency Roadmap for Petroleum Refineries in California iii Executive Summary Introduction Petroleum refineries are the largest users of natural gas and electricity in the State of California. In addition to a high level of energy consumption, the industry is a major contributor to the productivity and
) concludes that a petroleum refinery is about 90% efficient, but uses the definition: Petroleum Refinery Energy Efficiency = energy in all petroleum products/(energy in crude input, other feedstock inputs, and process fuels) Efficiency is often a rough gauge of how much energy is wasted.

Refinery Operations | » Measuring Energy Efficiency
The EIA provides an example to emphasize this point by noting that if energy in asphalt, road oils and other miscellaneous products are omitted from the refinery energy output calculation, then overall U.S. refinery energy efficiency would decline from 90.1% to 86.4%.
A comparative assessment of resource efficiency
A consequence of this lower share of hydrogen from the SMR results in a higher overall energy efficiency for the High API/High HP refinery group because hydrogen consumption via SMR is relatively inefficient (∼70% efficiency) compared to other refinery units, resulting in significant energy burdens for products of hydrocracking and
