2 Goal: develop quantitative methods to predict structural modifications in refining and logistics assets through time What, Where, When to Invest? Atmospheric Dis*lla*on Delayed Coker Terminal/Pipeline PETROBRAS Current Tool for Strategic Planning (PLANINV) LP No Scenario Synthesis Quan*ta*ve Methods Only op*mize streams transfers (fuel and petroleum import/export, market supply) PLANINV Scenario Opt (MILP) + NLP Processing Blending 2

3 The need to develop strategic level supply chain planning models in order to address issues in a quan*ta*ve manner rather than the qualita*ve approaches used *ll now is acknowledged by the industry and s*ll remains an ac*ve area of research. (Shapiro, 2004; Papageorgiou, 2009) Current Investment Planning Methodology in PETROBRAS Strategy - Increase the supply by one refinery Max NPV NPV=Sales- Cost Invest. Costs: - *QF+ *Y NPV Net Present Value Refinery Opera*onal Planning - Simulate Find the the Best Refining Scenarios Scenarios (MILP) Supply Chain Investments Planning - Test the refinery best scenarios in the home- grown NLP in Blending global investments and Processing tool (LP) Financial Strategy - Find the best set of compe*ng investments regarding the total capital flow Strategy Decision: - Invest or not in the supply increase MINLP MILP + NLP 3
