Petroleum refining is a highly competitive industry. For an independent refiner who must buy his crude, refining margins are thin with the result that refiner must buy cheapest possible crude from the spot market to stay afloat. Thus a refiner may be processing as many as thirty crudes during the course of a year. However a crude must be evaluated before hand to access any technical problem in processing the crude in a given refinery and evaluate the overall economics of the crude purchase at the given price. Naft Asia can assist you in this by preparing an LP model of the refinery and running it with the proposed crude. The relative economics of processing various crude options can be accurately and quickly accessed. We provide consultancy to crude and product sellers on the Indian market demand forecasts and product quality requirements.
