Asia continues to plan new oil refineries at a faster rate than any other region ( see 'Focus', May 2006 ). The largest increases are taking place in India and China ( see 'Looking Ahead', December 2006 ), but considerable expansion is planned elsewhere across Asia. Up to 3.2 mn bpd of new crude distillation capacity is being planned in other parts of the Asia/Pacific region ( see Table C), of which nearly 1.1 mn bpd is slated for Indonesia.
