EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Executive Summary provides a high level view of all 15 Indian PSU Refineries (The Refineries)
compared with each other and the Shell GSI benchmarked sites Regionally and Globally in the
following facets of their operations,
This data is presented in three tercile ranking tables for the Indian Refinery, Asia Pacific or East
Refinery and Global Refinery Peer Groups and in two data tables for each site. There are 15 refineries
in the Indian Peer group. For the majority of the Attributes there are 39 refineries in the Asia Pacific
Peer group and 62 refineries in the Global Peer groups. Where there are a different number of
refineries in the peer group for an Attribute the tercile ranking contemplates the actual number of sites
for that Attribute.
The tercile ranking tables show all sites with a colour coding indicating their ranking in each of the
Attributes in each of the three peer groups. The ranking is colour coded in terciles as illustrated in the
following table.
None or few Potential Opportunities
Some Potential Opportunities
Various Potential Opportunities
Top Tercile
Second Tercile
Third Tercile
The purpose of this ranking is to indicate areas where the greatest potential opportunities for
improvement can be found. This style of ranking is also present in the more detailed Gap Opportunity
Tables in the individual Refinery Reports.
The data tables for each site list 24 Main Attributes or Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) selected in
consultation between the Centre for High Technology and Shell GSI. The KPI value for the site and
the ranking of that site in each of the three peer groups is given in the first table. The KPI value
attained by the site in the 2003/4 and 2004/5 studies are presented and the site rankings have been
color-coded. Those presented with a red background indicate a higher (poorer) ranking in 2004/5
compared with the previous study while those with a green background indicate an lower (better)
ranking in the current study.
In keeping with the Review of Operational Performance 2003/4, sites will be provided with Quantified
Opportunity Gap Tables The quantification of the value of the Opportunities in these latter sections is
determined by comparison with two reference standards.
The Regional Reference Sites, in which Shell GSI has selected three sites in the East or
Asia Pacific region that are within the same complexity range as The Refineries and are
acknowledged within the Shell GSI annual benchmarking as being top performers in most
aspects of their operations. A value for each of the KPIs has been calculated from the average
of these refineries. The sites selected are not confined to being Shell owned but have a longterm relationship with Shell Global Solutions for technical advice and support.
The Shell site that represents the top 10% for the selected KPI sets the Shell Benchmarking
Reference. This target value is used for determining the value of the Opportunity for the
Global Refinery Peer group.
The value of the gaps are given in either US$ terms, engineering units or index points where
applicable. Also note that as the Regional Reference Site an average of a selection of sites for some

KPIs the Regional Reference Value may not be in the Top Tercile. This is particularly the case with the
Personnel KPIs where there is not a strong financial incentive to achieving absolute minimum
personnel levels.
OVERALL ASSESSMENT
In terms of the five broad business areas defined above the key conclusions are as follows.
Shell GSI using their interpretation of the methodology of Solomon Associates has calculated
equivalent Distillation Capacity. It is not an official determination of the Equivalent Distillation Capacity.

Regional Refinery peers. However, four sites are also in the Third Tercile for Total Labour costs
compared to only four in 2003/4. Compared against the Global Refinery Peer group six sites are in the
Top Tercile for total Labour Costs the same as in 2003/4. Whereas no sites were in the Third Tercile
globally in 2003/4 there are now two sites whose labour costs ranked in this group.
Structurally, the level of overtime worked at most sites remained high in 2004/5. Seven sites
compared with the Regional Peers and nine sites when compared with the Global Peers are ranked in
the Third Tercile for Overtime. Two sites, when compared with Regional Refinery peers but no site
also at a Global level appear in the Top Tercile for the level of overtime.
ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE
Irrespective of the Energy Efficiency, as discussed earlier, the Indian Refineries have structurally high
Energy consumption due to the type of processing units employed. In keeping with this only three sites
ranked in the Top Tercile compared to the Regional Refinery Peer group for CO2 Emissions.
Meanwhile, five sites ranked in the Third Tercile for CO2 Emissions when compared on a Regional
basis. Similar results were seen when the comparison was made against the Global Refinery Peer
group. The situation is largely unchanged from the 2003/4 study.
Five Refineries were ranked in the Third Tercile against both the Asia Pacific Regional Refinery Peer
and the Global Refinery Peer groups for the amount of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions. Key
factors influencing this result are the type of equipment installed in the Storage and Loading areas of
the refineries, the quantities of hydrocarbons entering the Refinery Wastewater Systems and the
amount of atmospheric venting from process units such as Vacuum Distillation units and Delayed
Cokers.
With the exception of three sites the amount of hydrocarbons entering the Refinery Wastewater
System (Oil Discharge at Refinery Fence) was ranked in the Second Tercile or lower on a Regional
comparison basis and all but two sites were ranked in the lower terciles on a Global comparison basis.

Shell GSI considers that a Wastewater Masterplan, which includes the operational and maintenance
aspects of the current and future systems, is warranted.
All sites are currently complying with their statutory limits with regard to the concentration of oil
discharged. However, this performance is not Top Tercile compared with the Global Refinery Peer
group or the Regional Peer Group.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Three Costs parameters have been considered in this comparison, Total Site Operating Costs per
barrel, Energy Costs per barrel and Cash Operating Expense per barrel. The latter parameter is the
Total Site Operating Costs excluding Fuel and Depreciation. Only fourteen of the India PSU Refineries
have been ranked for costs in this interim report.
Four sites were ranked in the Top Tercile for Total Site Operating Costs at the Regional Refinery Peer
group level and three at the Global Refinery Peer group level. Four refineries were ranked in the Third
Tercile in the Regional Peer group and five in the Global Peer group. A number of Indian Refineries
are currently carrying significant Depreciation charges as a result of recent expansion projects. The
cost competitiveness of the Indian PSU Refineries would appear to have deteriorated marginally
compared to the 2003/4 study.
Site Energy Costs are in the Second or Third tercile at both the Regional and Global levels of
comparison with the exception of one site that ranks in the Top Tercile at the Regional and Global
Refinery Peer group level. Site energy cost rankings are constant at a Regional level but have
deteriorated at a Global level compared to 2003/4.
Six sites, compared to eight in 2003/4, achieved the Top Tercile criteria for Cash Operating Expense
per barrel when compared with the Regional Refinery Peer group. Eight, compared to ten sites in
2003/4, achieved a Top Tercile ranking at the Global Refinery Peer group level. Two sites at a
Regional level and at a Global level were, however, placed in the Third Tercile for Cash operating
Expenses per barrel.
The Gross and Net Refinery Margins have been evaluated on a site-specific basis and on a ranked
basis for the Indian PSU Refineries only. Margins were determined on an Import Parity price basis for
Crude, Feedstocks and Products excluding any local pricing, duties and internal transport costs. As
Shell GSI has assessed that the market for all major products in India are in balance or deficit for
study period only Import Parity pricing has been considered. The Gross and Net Refinery Margins
have been determined using the actual Mass Balance for the individual refinery, including Crude and
Feedstock types and products produced and the prevailing Product qualities. Shell GSI has
determined the prices for these materials from our market data corresponding to the average of2004/5
period, including freight rates to achieve the appropriate import parity price. More detail of the margin
determination is given in the Introduction section of this report.
All fifteen of the Indian Refineries, compared to only twelve in 2003/4, are able to exceed the Arab
Light marker margin for a fully Export Parity pricing ex Singapore. When compared to 2003/4 the
Gross Margin for the Indian Refineries on average more than doubled while the Arab Light Complex
marker nearly tripled. The best-performed sites kept pace with the Arab Light Complex margin while
some sites were adversely affected by significant shutdown periods for new plant construction or the
unavailability of major conversion units.
The average Raw Material Cost (RMC) for the Indian Refineries increased by 40 percent, slightly more
than the Arab Light price but the product mix and prices in most cases compensated for the added
feedstock price.
One refinery was able to equal the Regional Peer Group Gross Margin, as was the case in 2003/4.
The average improvement in Gross Margin for the Indian Refineries was slightly worse than the
improvement attained by the Regional Peer Refineries, hence, the margin gap noted in 2003/4 has
increased. The increase in average RMC for the Indian Refineries was greater than that of the
Regional Peer Group. This was due to the influence of Brent Pricing on the RMC for the Indian
Refineries relative to the Regional Peers and that the Indian Refineries took less advantage of the

widening Light-Heavy crude differential and feedstock versus crude purchases. The product slate for
the Indian refineries compared to the Regional Peers remained constant and hence the slight
reduction in competitivity. It has to be recorded that the product slate of the Indian PSU remains
constrained by the local market in terms of the lack of outlets for higher value transport fuels and
chemicals feedstocks.
All fifteen Indian PSU Refineries achieved a positive Nett Refinery Margin in 2004/5 compared to only
thirteen in 2003/4. One refinery surpassed the Nett Refinery Margin achieved by the Regional Peer
Refineries.
A separate analysis of the economic performance of the Base Oil Plants showed that Gross Margins
increased significantly in 2004/5 compared to the prior period. The margin gap between the Indian
PSU Base Oil Plants and the Shell reference remained constant. Unit Operating Costs (US$/tonne) for
the Indian PSU facilities were on average twice that of the Shell Reference Site. As a consequence
the Nett Margin for the Indian PSU Base Oil Plants was break-even or negative compared to a
substantial positive margin for the Shell Reference Site.
Energy and Loss. Energy and loss represents the single largest controllable expense for all
refineries. An integrated program of enhanced Oil Accounting, selective Energy Conservation
investment, Energy Optimisation studies and implementation of on-line Energy Optimisation
should be developed. The individual refineries would enter this program at various points
depending on current performance but only have established that they are in compliance with
the prior steps.
Asset Integrity and Reliability. Plant Availability due to planned and unplanned maintenance
is the largest controllable loss of margin or income for the refineries and in some refineries
also poorer Energy performance than the site is capable of achieving. An integrated program
of tracking of unit downtime and availability, defect and bad actor elimination, Reliability
Centred Maintenance, Risk Based Inspection and Turnaround Scope challenge and
optimisation should be developed. This program must address not only the performance of the
maintenance task but also the operational aspects of the plants, such as operating windows,
and plant change management.
Organisational Effectiveness. The skills and competencies of all levels of the organisations
need to be aligned with the above programs. A Business Leadership program should be
developed to ensure that the organisation develops the correct skills and balance to
successfully implement the above programs.
Supply Chain Optimisation. Having implemented the above programs is will be necessary to
develop the overall refinery and distribution networks and the product qualities to fully optimise
and integrate the refinery infrastructure.
