Refining the Plan

Your client is a major Indian public sector player operating primarily in the downstream segment of Oil & Gas. They currently have a refinery capacity of 15 MMTPA split across two refineries of 10 and 5 MMTPA. They planned to expand their smaller 5 MMTPA refinery to 12 MMTPA by December 2023 but now want to accelerate this expansion to complete by December 2022 instead. They want your help to shorten the project timeline by one year and explore possible ways to achieve this.

Analyze the refinery expansion project to identify how to compress the timeline from 48 months to 36 months and recommend actionable steps and risk mitigation measures.
