Does Oil refineries use process costing?

Yes. depending on the type of crude that is processed actual output of the different type of product yield in % weght is determined through a material balance or bass balance process. The total cost is then apportioned by the weight of each product yield. The weight is then converted to volume which is used in dividing the apportioned cost to arrive at the unit cost of each type of prouct yield from the refining process.

Which fraction of crude oil provides the chemical feedstock for the petrochemical industry?

Naphtha often provides feedstock to the petrochemical industry. This is especially true in countries in which the vehicle fleet is centered on diesel fuel (such as European countries). The United States has historically had a vehicle fleet balanced between gasoline and diesel fuels, resulting in the maximization of naphtha blended into the motor fuels pool. Therefore, most of the petrochemicals in the U.S. are produced by turning natural gas into ethylene. As of 2012 the U.S. is undergoing a slight dieselisation of its vehicle fleet; however, natural gas prices at 10 year lows continue to make natural gas the most cost effective route for producing petrochemicals in the U.S.

Why doesn't the US use their own gasoline?

We do, most gasoline produced in the US refineries is used in the US. We do not import gasoline, but the crude oil used to make gasoline. It is cheaper to refine "sweet" crude oil from the Middle East, than the "sour" crude oil we produce. As the price of crude oil increases we become more reliant on our own oil, as it drops we import more oil. Keep in mind the US is the third largest producer of crude oil in the world, we have been first in the past, most of which is used in the US. Transportation costs can be factored into the equation as well, a pipeline from Alaska to refineries on the west coast could reduce transport costs, thus reducing the cost of refining it into gasoline or other fuels, indirectly. Otherwise it is as costly to ship it by sea from Alaska as it is from the Mid-East, so the difference in pumping and refining costs is what drives the import-export trade most. Oil pumped from the Gulf of Mexico is usually refined in the Gulf states, and oil drilling in other states is highly regulated, (aside from the differences in "sweet" and "sour" crude) driving up costs.

Where does south Africa buy brent crued oil?

Brent crude oil is a light crude from the North sea. It is used as an indicator of global oil prices. It is however unlikely that South Africa buys any Brent crude because the travel distance is great and that increases the cost of supplying the oil. South Africas oil is more likely to come from closer suppliers, like Angola, Nigeria and the Middle East.
