I am looking for a company or solution, that can help maximize the output of a refinery, that is strategy based, not technical.

The US could become a net exporter of gasoline by 2010, given shifts in demand, biofuel mandates and growth in alternative vehicle technology, according to a report by Booz & Company, the global management consultancy.
Rising prices have already cooled US gasoline demand. The US transportation department said this month that motorists drove 12.2bn fewer miles in June than a year earlier, the eighth straight month that travel declined.
“It has opened up the possibility that the US will become long in gasoline (a net exporter rather than a net importer),’’ Booz says. “This is particularly likely if demand is reduced by an economic slowdown or a recession.” Booz believes gasoline consumption in the US is likely to peak within the next 15 to 20 years.
For US refiners, it looks increasingly likely demand growth will be in Asia. Tata’s new $2,500 car, introduced amid a growing appetite for vehicles driven by steep economic growth in Asia is likely to bolster conventional fuel demand.
