sekundárne spracovanie
Explanation:
downstream, downstream processing - dodatočné (sekundárne) spracovanie

Ref: Technický prekladový slovnik, spracovanie ropy, Petrochémia (1981)

See the english definitions of the terms upstream and downstream, found at http://www.tradepartners.gov.uk/oilandgas/profile/01profile_...
The oil and gas sector is often considered in two broad areas, Upstream and Downstream, although there are differences in definition at the interface:
Upstream, all businesses concerned with obtaining crude oil and gas from underground reservoirs to its supply for refining into saleable products; and Downstream, related to businesses involved in the processing of the crude oil into products for marketing.
(There are more informations on the web site.)

Sorry, I do not know the slovak term of upstream, may be it is primárne spracovanie

upstream, downstream


Explanation:
Doporucujem neprekladat, su to prilis siroke terminy. upstream aj downstream sa pouziva na popisovanie cinnosti od tazby suroviny, jej spracovania, az po dopravu ku konecnemu odberatelovi.

Upstream: tazba, produkcia SUROVINY, napriklad ropy a plynu a vsetko co je s nou spojene.

downstream: spracovanie, distribucia, doprava a spusta inych cinnosti suvisiacich s HOTOVYM VYROBKOM a jeho dodavkou konecnemu odberatelovi.

upstream, downstream


Explanation:
Do not translate. These terms are very complex. The terms upstream and downstream are used to describe the activities starting from production of say, oil or gas until the delivery of final product to the end user.

Upstream: field production of oil, gas and related activities.

downstream: processing, distribution, transport, delivery and a wide array of other activities related to the making of the end product, be it processed oil, gas, petrochemicals, or other products made of oil (there may be a whole bunch of them).
