What does the comprehensive energy consumption in oil refining refer to?

Does anyone know what is included in the comprehensive energy consumption for oil refining? Some reports indicate that this value can be reduced to 79.86 kilograms of standard oil per ton. What does kilogram of standard oil per ton mean? Thank you
It refers to the fuel oil consumed per ton of crude oil, calculated by converting the energy sources such as steam, water, electricity, and gas used in the refining process into an equivalent amount of crude oil, expressed in kilograms of standard oil per ton.
The comprehensive energy consumption in crude oil processing includes the energy used for fuel and power in various units during the crude oil processing process, such as electricity, fuel gas, fuel oil, steam, catalytic coking, etc., as well as energy-consuming media such as water. Various types of energy consumed can be converted into a unified measurement unit (kilograms of standard oil) using specific conversion factors, so as to evaluate the amount of energy required to process one ton of oil, expressed in kilograms of standard oil per ton. The comprehensive energy consumption per unit of crude oil processing should not exceed 62 kilograms (standard oil)/ton.
