Organisations
Statistics for petroleum refining in the UK are gathered by the United Kingdom Petroleum Industry Association (UKPIA), on Chancery Lane in London, and the recently formed (July 2016) Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. The Energy Institute is headquartered in Marylebone. The Institute of Petroleum merged with the Institute of Energy in 2003. Close to the Energy Institute is the World Petroleum Council (WPC), known for its four-yearly World Petroleum Congresses.
