Evaluate refinery and petrochemical configuration and crude flexibility to lift Gross Refining Margin (GRM) and secure long-term competitiveness, with a phased investment roadmap.
Refinery configuration decisions lock in margin for decades. A master plan tests crude flexibility, conversion capacity and petrochemical integration against price, demand and regulatory scenarios before capital is committed. Operators who plan in phases, with small revamps first and larger investments later, keep options open, avoid stranded assets and align each step with decarbonisation goals.
Identify yield losses, energy inefficiencies and bottlenecks while optimising crude basis, unit utilisation and blending, to capture integrated margin across the whole complex.
Most complexes leave margin on the table in daily operation: yield losses, blending give-away, crude selection and constraints that were never revisited. A structured programme reconciles the planning model with actual operation, benchmarks the whole asset and ranks initiatives by capital need. The first 20 cents per barrel typically needs no capex at all, which is why payback is so often measured in months.
An independent, quantified comparison of technology and licensor options, giving decision-quality evidence on yield slate, selectivity, energy, GHG, flexibility and commercial readiness (TRL).
A licensor choice fixes yields, energy intensity, catalyst cost and flexibility for the life of a unit. Evaluating options side by side on a common basis, covering guarantees, technology readiness, utilities, emissions and commercial terms, exposes differences that headline proposals hide and gives the owner real leverage in negotiation.
Independent review of basic design packages and design-basis documents, applying competitive scoping, sparing philosophy and material specifications to take cost out before detailed engineering.
Decisions made in the basic design package shape most of a project's cost. An independent review of the design basis, margins, sparing philosophy, materials and specifications finds over-design and omissions while changes are still cheap, and avoids expensive rework in detailed engineering.
Studies and design packages that unlock capacity at the lowest cost, starting with low-cost options and validating process limits, constraints and the crude acceptance matrix.
Capacity can often be unlocked more cheaply than it can be built. The route is to identify the true limiting constraints, test low-cost options first, such as heat integration, internals and the operating envelope, and phase heavier investments behind clear decision gates.
A holistic overview of unit revamps and how they integrate, scaling each revamp to stay below the cost-inflection point and improving payback.
Revamp costs climb steeply once a scope crosses an inflection point such as a new heater, a new column or a new utility. A short, integrated review scales each revamp to stay just below that point and checks the knock-on effect on utilities and offsites, improving payback before money is committed.
Optimise utilities and energy use by benchmarking the Energy Intensity Index (EII) against global quartiles, closing furnace and heat-integration gaps, and managing fuel, flaring and hydrogen.
Energy is typically the largest controllable operating cost. Benchmarking an energy-intensity index against peer quartiles shows where the gap lies. Furnace tuning, heat integration, steam and power balance, and flare and hydrogen management then close it, starting with quick wins that need little capital.
A structured approach to accounting for unaccounted losses and bringing oil loss down to top-quartile benchmarks, covering the refinery, tankage, pipelines and marine movements.
Unaccounted loss is both a profit leak and an accountability problem. Splitting losses into evaporation, flaring, transfer, tankage and measurement shows which are controllable, and clear procedures at every custody-transfer point let operations move from typical loss levels toward best practice.
Improve the LP model and the planning and scheduling process, so margins are maximised and plans are reliable. Most benefits need no capital.
The planning model drives crude purchase, throughput and product-slate decisions every day. When it drifts from reality, every decision inherits the error. A health check, validated delta vectors and back-casting against actual operation typically close most of that gap, with no capital required.
Hands-on problem solving that improves reliability, product quality and energy efficiency through root-cause analysis, data reconciliation and corrective action planning.
Operating problems such as fouled exchangers, hot spots, corrosion, off-specification product and catalyst deactivation usually have a process root cause that the data can reveal. Structured troubleshooting reconciles plant data, isolates the cause and fixes it through operating changes before capital is even considered.
Structured process safety reviews that make start-up and operation safe: pre-start-up safety reviews, hazard studies, operating-mode analysis and independent safety audits.
Most process-safety incidents occur not in steady running but in transients: start-up, shutdown, maintenance and upsets. Pre-start-up reviews, hazard studies, operating-mode analysis and independent audits make those transitions deliberate and well prepared.
A staged route from IT–OT integration to a refinery-wide real-time digital twin, led by domain expertise in planning, simulation, APC/DCS and MPC, with specialist technology partners.
Digital value in a refinery starts with trusted data and ends with decisions made faster and better. A staged path from IT–OT integration to real-time optimisation to a refinery-wide digital twin delivers benefits at each level, instead of waiting for a single big-bang rollout.
Owner's Consultant leadership of front-end development: competitively scoped, opportunity-driven projects taken from concept to Final Investment Decision (FID), choosing the right project and developing it rightly.
The front end of a project is where value is won or lost. Competitive scoping, disciplined concept selection and realistic risk assessment before the final investment decision reduce capital and operating cost, shorten schedules and lift returns, and make sure the right project is the one being developed.
An independent review that identifies the right project and stops the wrong one: testing premises, economics, concept, technology, Capex, risks and schedule before capital is committed.
An independent value assurance review at each stage gate tests premises, economics, technology readiness, cost estimates and schedule. Its greatest value is sometimes in stopping or reshaping a project before significant capital is committed.
Specialist materials, maintenance and engineering management that improve plant reliability and integrity, avoiding production loss, lifting utilisation and reducing maintenance cost.
Unplanned downtime is expensive and largely avoidable. Combining corrosion risk mapping, materials review, reliability modelling and predictive maintenance raises availability, trims corrective maintenance spend and strengthens safety performance.
Query-based, on-call technical support from senior experts: troubleshooting, unit monitoring and operations guidance under changing feedstocks and operating conditions.
Operations teams often need an experienced second opinion quickly. A technical services agreement gives them on-call access to senior process specialists for troubleshooting, unit monitoring and operating-envelope questions, under a fixed annual arrangement.
