It may be an unsupportable assumption that the worst fires occur at oil refineries. Oil refinery fires are usually extinguished quickly and are usually well contained.
It all depends how you define 'worst'.
The most difficult to stop fires tend to be fires in forested lands. The most expensive fires tend to be large commercial buildings. Fires with the highest human death rates tend to be in dense informal urban settlements - so called slums. The most polluting fires tend to be associated with gas flares and well fires in oilfields.
No, foam is not recommended for oil fires as it can actually spread the fire and cause it to flare up. Foam is better suited for extinguishing class A and B fires, such as wood or paper fires. For oil fires, it is best to use a fire extinguisher specifically designed for class K (kitchen) fires or a fire suppression system designed for commercial kitchens.
Just as you can blow out a burning match with your breath, explosives are used to "blow out" oil well fires. The fires are so violent ind intense that normal firefighting methods will not work.
Cracking is a process used in oil refineries to break down larger hydrocarbon molecules into smaller ones, which are more valuable and in higher demand, such as petrol and other oil fractions. By cracking heavier components of crude oil, refineries can produce more of these high-demand products efficiently.
Crude oil is obtained through drilling wells into underground reservoirs. The oil is then extracted to the surface using a combination of pressure differentials and pumping systems. Once at the surface, the crude oil is transported via pipelines or tankers to refineries for processing.
Gasoline is obtained from crude oil through a process called fractional distillation. Crude oil is heated to separate it into different components based on their boiling points. Gasoline is one of the lighter components that is separated out during this process.
