An oil refinery is a sort of plant where crude oil is separated into multiple components and recombined to create new products such as gasoline and jet fuel. This process is overseen by a team of refinery technicians. The continuous processes of petroleum refining are directed and controlled by refinery operators. They are notified of any system flaws that may necessitate rapid fixes in order to protect the product's quality and quantity. 

Temperature, pressure, flow rate, and tank levels in refining units are controlled from a fully automated control room. The operator maintains a meticulous record of readings, test findings, and changes. Petroleum pump system operators are in charge of the manifold and pumping systems that transport liquids throughout the refinery. This operator supervises and maintains the system in order to keep the fluid products flowing through this vast network of pipelines and chambers. 

Gaugers at refineries and other petroleum firm facilities measure and test the oil in storage tanks. They keep an eye on the controls that regulate the flow of oil into pipes. Work in a refinery is not always physically demanding, but it is exacting and meticulous. Many refinery employers prefer college or other experience in fields such as industrial machinery operations, engineering, or chemistry and math, especially for individuals aspiring to be refinery operators. 

Any of these occupations also necessitate extensive on-the-job training. The number of available jobs in this industry is decreasing due to increased automation. A steady supply of oil is critical to our economy and way of life. Refineries run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to keep us fueled.
