Neat and innovative application of AI. I never thought about this kind of incident before but it hints at just how complex modern life has become and what a can of worms it is.
The interpretation section of the report suggests "A more rigorous version of this comparison would re-count each of the five historical 6-week windows for all energy infrastructure, not just refineries." It would still be contingent on the completeness of historical reporting. Also no weight is given to the severity of the incidents: >10 oil tankers ablaze seems worse than a transformer fire.
Whatever sense you can make of this will help analyse similar questions in future.
There have been 6 Oil Rig explosions around the world in less than 24 hours, the latest one in Texas. This is all orchestrated to manipulate our opinion on s/t concerning energy; prices, Trump, policy - or to make a new policy, to push us in a direction. Whatever the news is telling you about energy - or the war in Iran, be suspicious. Odds are, what you are hearing is said and done to get you on board with a certain opinion about getting someone or something out or putting someone or something in (some policy or person) for THEIR benefit - never for our (the citizens') long term benefit. Be suspicious. Ask yourself, "who benefits if I believe this (believe whatever it is I am being told or fed)?"
Last week, a massive, out-of-control fire broke out at one of Australia’s two oil refineries, in Geelong, west of Melbourne. Australia used to have 10 oil refineries, now down to two.
Late spring and early summer are often scheduled for refinery annual maintenance. These operations are hazardous. This might explain the refinery incidents.
Autumn here in Australia. Either one or both refineries here were due for maintenance but due to 90% of fuel coming into the country via the Straits of Hormuz and Asian refineries, maintenance here was delayed.

They did the same here (USA) with feed lots and refineries here during convid.

Hope this is helpful...
Here is a "worldwide" (most in USA) map of Farm/Food Processing/Agricultural fires/arsons/disasters from 2021-2022:

Saturday, April 18th, an unexplained explosion at the BP Cherry Point Refinery in WA State sent 3 people to the hospital with injuries.
Looks to me like the fires are quid pro quo.
