Answer:
An oil refinery is located either close to an oil field or in a coastal city in order to reduce transportation cost. Another reason is that oil is highly inflammable and hence various safety measures need to be taken during its transportation.

Answer:
refineries which use a large amount of steam and cooling water need to have an abundant source of water. oil refineries therefore are often located navigable rivers or on a sea shore, nearby a port. such a location also gives access to transportation by river or by sea.
