Dashboards for downstream refining

costs quantified

Problem

A downstream refining operator wanted shipping and crude costs surfaced in real time alongside refinery operating data — but those views lived in separate systems and were stale by the time anyone looked.

Approach

R2 built HYSYS-driven refining models that fed Tableau dashboards with live shipping and crude cost inputs. The dashboards surfaced cost drivers at a granularity that matched operational decision-making.

Result

Shipping and crude costs were quantified and visible in the same view as refinery operations — a workflow improvement that informed daily operating decisions.
