The triggering point of this process was the foundation of the first modern refinery in the world in Ploiesti, in 1857. Owing to its performance throughout the times, Romania was placed among the elite of large producers, processors and exporters in the world.Our presentation relies on the results of bibliographical research and scientific investigations.
