Refinery Complexity – A cost metric that does not indicate value

Table of contents

• Introduction
• Cost Indices
  • Table 1: Selected Nelson Farrar Process Unit Indices
  • Figure 1: European Refinery Complexity Profile (2013)
  • The refinery with the highest complexity score is Eni's Livorno facility, due to large relative size of its lubricant facility. The sporadic operation of this site during 2013, due to poor economics, highlights the weakness of complexity as a metric of competitive postion.
• Cost and Value Relationship
