Refinery Evaluation Modeling System (REMS) Database Documentation (1985 Update). Final Report

摘要

This document provides a description of the 1985 database associated with Version 2 of the Refinery Evaluation Modeling System (REMS) of the Energy Information Administration (EIA). The database consists of model data tables which are input directly into REMS in machine-readable form and source data tables which present associated data extracted from data files and primary source documents. Computations, aggregations, and disaggregations are made to the data in order to provide the data in the proper form necessary for the model. This document contains two types of tables, i.e., ''source tables'' and ''model input.'' The source tables are frequently intermediate tables necessary to present preliminary data before manipulations into model input table form. Where possible data has been aggregated into REMS regional data directly from the appropriated Integrated Petroleum Supply Reporting System files in order to reduce the requirement for estimation procedures. The data files used are clearly stated in the documentation. All of the 1985 model input data associated with the Oil Refining and Distribution (ORAD) Model component of REMS are presented within this volume. Volume size considerations precluded inclusion of the model input tables for all nine regions associated with the regional Refinery Yield Models (RYMs). However, the data input tables for model district number 8 (D8, the Texas Gulf Coast) are provided as representative of RYMs data input requirements. The source data tables supporting all of the nine regional RYMs are included. The 1985 RYMs data input tables for all regions including district 8 can be found on an archive tape at the EIA. 5 figs., 111 tabs. (ERA citation 10:048145)
