Refineries are built by the Bechtels and Parsons and their European and Japanese counterparts. Most are nearly fully-automated. Again, a comparatively tiny number of locals will be hired.
Pretty true, I think. I know when I was working down in Mobile, AL, I was quite surprised to read about how few people were actually employed in those huge petro-chemical refineries down there. Simply gigantic places with maybe 400 people working in one. -- Harmon Seaver CyberShamanix http://www.cybershamanix.com
