Using patented methodologies and extensive industry experience, we identify what drives sustainable high performance. Comparing asset performance against industry peers is essential for identifying and developing effective “data-driven” tactical and strategic plans to keep your refinery competitive in the years ahead.

Participation in our Fuels Study ensures you know where your refinery stands in all key performance areas, with valuable, data-driven insight and information, including industry trends, to guide performance improvement efforts.

Solomon's Lube Study measures areas critical to your success: reliability, equipment utilization, operating expenses, competitive gross margin, and industry performance ranges. >50% of lube base oil capacity is represented. 3,000–5,000 data points per facility are collected.

Solomon's Plant Turnaround Duration Analysis gives you visibility into top-performing turnarounds & equips you with the tools to enhance your turnaround performance. Learn where your turnaround performance excelled or fell short by comparing it to others in the industry.

The World’s Best Refineries report looks beyond the benchmarking numbers of the Fuels Study to examine a special group of refineries—World’s Best Peer Group. The peer group identifies refineries that were the best at the “business” of refining over three study cycles (six years). Learn what sets the World’s Best refineries apart from the rest, and how you can improve your performance.

Solomon delivers the only third-party benchmarking assessment that provides visibility into trends in yields, reliability, and energy efficiency, among other performance areas. Plants in 70 countries use Solomon’s benchmarking to integrate positive changes and improve performance.

Solomon analyzes plant performance data, benchmarks against peers to identify gaps, and provides insight into where clients should focus their improvement efforts. The benchmarking study results can be used to improve target-setting, prioritize spending, and develop action plans.

Solomon's Aromatics Study provides a global perspective on the performance highs and lows of all your units, regardless of location, starting with your aggregate complex performance and moving down in granularity to the level of the individual unit.
