I know the refinery I worked at for almost three decades was sold in the late 1990s and the money the purchaser then spent on environmental upgrades was double the cost of the purchase price without gaining one barrel of throughput.
Its a dangerous and expensive industry with a highly trained / skilled workforce. Its also very interesting and the pay was white collar money in a blue collar job. The downside is the hours are terrible and often long (might go a month w/o a day off working 12/16 maybe more hours / day) chronic fatigue of the rotating shift work operating staff is so common place that feeling bad was normal. The phrase often used when someone complained about a lack of sleep was, "Suck it up cupcake, it ain't an ice cream factory".
