首先,非常感谢三位专门花时间帮忙!
Yueyin的分析接近我所掌握的原文,我曾想译成“石油附属工业”,毫无疑问“石油辅助工业”更确切。

Explanation:
http://www.proz.com/?sp=h&id=76282
這是曾經被提過的法英翻譯的問題
其中提到以下的連結
http://www.meteomer.com/cliosat.htm
這個網站說的是衛星偵測在採礦方面的應用
第四段用到 parapetroleum 這個詞

Para- 做為 prefix 有 near, beside, beyond, assistant 等意思
例如 paramilitary, paramedical 等
在化學上應解為 "類似" 或 "與另一化合物有極密切關係"
例如 paraldehyde, parapetroleum 等

Petroleum 屬 hydrocarbons 但屬此類化合物者眾多
因此,我建議將 parapetroleum 譯為 "近石油(類化合物)"
