diet Explanation: I'd say it is simply *diet*, after some fishing around on google. Seems to refer to the crudes that a refinery uses/consumes/processes (therefore, its "diet"). Or possibly crude diet / crude diet / or refinery diet. But I get the impression that someone in the know would know what it refers to, so DIET would suffice. eg. consider this passage from page 6 of the website http://www.canadianfuels.ca/website/media/PDF/Publications/E...

The production cuts would reduce the supply of heavy and medium crude grades, weakening refining margins, particularly for companies like Spain's Repsol (REP.MC), for which heavy crude represents around half of the refinery diet, Romeo said. Global oil demand in 2016 is expected to rise by 1.2 million ... |
