Case Study
Network model for maximizing results across the fuel supply chain
Segment: Oil and Gas / Refining / Downstream
Solution: Optimization Technology
Client
-
An energy company, controlled by an international investment manager, that offers more than 31 products.
-
Its main asset is a large refinery located in Northeast Brazil, in operation for over 70 years, with the capacity to process more than 300,000 barrels of oil per day, corresponding to 14% of Brazil's total refining capacity.
Challenges
-
Upon taking control of one of Brazil's largest refineries, the company began requiring a more robust tool to assess the sensitivity of its catchment area and support decisions on pricing, production, and investments.
-
Given the multiple factors that impact competitiveness and demand, an integrated model is needed, capable of analyzing these variables simultaneously, while respecting operational capacities and constraints.
Our Approach
-
Development of an optimization model customized in AIMMS® software, representing current and alternative logistics flows at the national level.
-
Team training, enabling its integration into the strategic routine to support decision-making related to production, product pricing, and infrastructure investment evaluation.
-
Execution of continuous improvement routines, focused on increasing profitability and operational efficiency.
Results
-
The model has been in use for more than four years, supporting strategic decision-making in the management of an asset that has received more than R$ 3 billion in investments since 2021.
-
Recognition of Leggio's technical expertise, followed by its selection to develop the Logistics and Infrastructure Master Plan, reinforcing confidence in its ability to address strategic challenges.
