Video: What is the Fuels Study?

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 is your trusted guide to sustainable performance excellence. From closing gaps and addressing challenges identified in one of our benchmarking studies, to receiving expert guidance to address a wide range of operational opportunities or challenges, we can help.

If your organization is new to one of our studies or has experienced challenges completing the study data input forms, Solomon can help. Data quality and a proven benchmarking methodology enable results and insight you can trust. Contact us today!

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.

Delayed cokers analysis identifies areas for improvement. The database included 76 cokers with a 2- or 3-drum configuration and 73 cokers with a 4-drum or larger configuration. The analysis focused on identifying units that demonstrated sustainable, cost-effective, and high operational availability while yielding the largest percentage of non-coke products.

Look beyond the numbers to answer key questions. Solomon’s Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Unit Analysis report shows what it takes to achieve World’s Best performance.

Learn how your peers are improving their refinery energy performance. The report looks beyond the benchmarking numbers of Solomon’s Worldwide Fuels Refinery Performance Analysis (Fuels Study) to examine the performance trends of multiple groups of refineries (a.k.a., Custom Peer Groups) over a 10-year period.

Comprehensive training that draws from a historical, proprietary library of industry best practices and proven methodologies, plus the real-world knowledge from experienced consultants.
