Jamnagar Refinery

The second refinery's work site covered an area larger than London - Bechtel

I'm reading a story about how India is scooping up discounted oil from Russia and they mention that the largest oil refinery in the world is located in Jamnagar, India, about 300 miles northwest of Bombay.

Who'd a thunk it?

I looking at the map and I'm thinking the oil is probably being transported by tanker across the Black Sea, through downtown Istanbul, which prompted me to wonder what that looks like, and wouldn't you know it, YouTube has a video.

Then it goes

• across the Mediterranean,
• through the Suez canal,
• down the Red Sea,
• across the Gulf of Aden and
• across the Arabian Sea. I guess we aren't far enough south to be considered in the Indian Ocean.

Shipping Oil from Russia to India
It's 5,000 miles one way along a very complicated path. Well, complicated compared to sailing across the Pacific.
