Economics & Planning

Supply & Economics comes under the umbrella of Supply, Planning & Procurement Department, comprising of two sections i.e. Supply & Economics & Scheduling Sections.

Section is responsible for the import of crude oil from International suppliers like ADNOC & NIOC by operating term contracts. We maintain continuous liaison with PARCO/NRL/PNSC and prepare annual/quarterly and monthly schedules for the import of crude oil. Through COA (Contract of Affreightment) with PNSC crude oil is transported from the designated ports of Gulf to Karachi. Schedules are then communicated to both Production & Oil Movement Department to make necessary arrangement for the receipt and further processing of crude oil. E&S Section also makes all arrangements for the export of surplus naphtha.

We use softwares like Process Industries Modeling System (PIMS) and Crude Manger LE and to run refinery at optimum/economic levels and direct operations department accordingly. Using PIMS Annual Business Plans are prepared which are revisited in line with crude & product pricing trends. Studies are also conducted for the optimization of our crude blend thus maximizing refinery profitability.
