World energy demand has been increasing since the first industrial revolution. its vearly increasing rate is 2-5% since a century ago. If this rate of increase keep constant, the energy consumption in 2, 000 would be about 32 billion ton and amount to about 500-550 billion ton in the aggregate 1963-2000. In spite of such increasing rate, the energy demand in 2000 would not worry about.
The above situation means the whole world energy consumption, which can apply to the highly-developed countries. Turning over the Japan's energy situation since the Meiji Restoration, except the temporary vacancy days immediately after the world war II, Japan has made steady progress. The energy economic efficiency in Japan will be well comparable with that of in U. S. A., U. K., U. S. S. K. and West Germany.
The future energy demand in this country is estimated to about 1, 200 million ton, 94% of which is dependent on import, and to about 1, 500 million ton in 2000. The annual amount of petroleum import is considered to become about one billion kl.
The coal industry in Japan is very serious, which is caused by the lowering of oil price. The coal output plan of yearly 55 million ton will be very difficult to be kept in future.
The oil industry, which induced the panic of the coal industry, was attacked by oil flood caused by the discovery of great oil reserves in the Middle-East Asia. The oil reserves in this area attains to about two-thirds of the world reserves. These resources have induced the enlargement of oil tankers, modernization of harbor facilities, scale-up of refineries, which have naturally lowered the cost of oil products.

In spite of the surprising increase of demand for crude oils in Japan, the supply will be plentiful as the world petroleum production and exploration goes up.
The Main supply sources will be Middle East and though there is no problem in quantity, but some problems in quality. The main problems will be sulphur content and the trends in product demand.

The author outlines various oil refining equipments and processes. That the oil industry is prosperous as it is today is due to the scale up of the equipment for meeting the rapid increase in the demand of products, progress of process engineering and further advances in catalysts.
The oil industry involves political problems such as the increase of distillation equipments is not simple, most of the naphtha is imported from the Middle East, which is unsecure in the future supply ability. Public nuisance is another big problem, e. g., desulfurization of heavy oil, removal of sulfur dioxide and water pollution in the seaside industrial zones.
In near future, the oil industry will gradually become a low rate of interest-producing industry. Harbour improvement will be needed for the enlargement of oil tankers.

From the viewpoint of pollution control, desulfurization of heavy oil has become important problem to be solved urgently. In this country studies are being little carried out in this field, however, in foreign countries its industrialization is being taken into consideration.
This paper, describes catalytic hydrodesulfurization of atmospheric/reduced pressure distillation residue of crudes reported recently in foreign countries, and its economical balance by introducing the test results of HDS process done by U. S. Gulf Research Co.

Isomax process has wide scoke of utilization in oil refining processes. The author explains the pesent status and future aspect of all hydro-cracking processes centering upon the isomax one, e. g., he describes the applicable aim of the isomax process and advances in catalyst, then trends in the hydro-cracking equipment in both free world and this country, relation between hydro-and catalytic-cracking processes, and considers the hydro-cracking to be applied in Japan's petroleum refining programs in near future.
