Reliance Industries of India stated that due to the cooking fuel shortage caused by the Iraq war, the company is reducing the production of alkylate oil and switching to alternative materials to increase the production of liquefied petroleum gas. The operator of the world's largest oil refining complex is currently running its alkylate unit at minimum load, reducing the export of this gasoline blending component. The company's production of liquefied petroleum gas has increased by more than three times compared to pre-war levels, "aiming to fill the partial gap caused by the loss of imported liquefied petroleum gas from Middle Eastern countries". Reliance Industries usually exports alkylate oil to the United States from its export-oriented refinery with a daily production capacity of 704,000 barrels.
