Worldwide Refinery Survey and Complexity Analysis 2014
Paired with the regular Refining Survey, the Complexity Analysis adds significant value to the refinery data with three measures. The Nelson Complexity Index (NCI) provides insight into such things as refinery construction costs, replacement value, conversion capability and product slate. Also included is
Equivalent Distillation Capacity (EDC) which is calculated by multiplying the distillation capacity by the NCI. And lastly, the BoB index provides a means of quantifying and characterizing a refinery’s ability to process heavy crudes and produce premium refined products. It represents the combined capacity of a refinery’s Coking, Catalytic Cracking and Hydrocracking units relative to Distillation Capacity (expressed as a percentage).
