Game Rules
About the game

The online competition is a turn-based strategic game aiming to imitate reality as much as possible,
however, it contains several simplifications to make the game easier to understand and more
entertaining to play.

Game concept
You are the managers of a well-established oil company with a diversified upstream and downstream
portfolio continuously seeking new upstream opportunities to replace the reserves and the production,
as well as to improve the efficiency of your refineries. The Game Management decided your only task
is to manage the refinery part of the game in 2015. Your aim is to prove that you are the best
managers by maximizing the cash generation of your company to create value added by downstream
operations.
You are not allowed to make decisions on the upstream part, but the game provides deeper insight
into fields where production is operating.
You start the downstream game with 5500 million F$ (Freshhh Dollar) of cash at hand.

Timing
Contestants are going to play for 10 turns. 1 turn in the game means 24 (same as in the Test Rounds)
hours in the real world, so in every 24 hours, there is going to be a turn change.
The actual rounds results, financial accounting and the effects of decision-making are only shown
when a turn change occurs.

Financing
You have a revolving credit of 5000 million F$ total at 10% interest rate. You can use this credit facility
to finance 60% of your investments. If you exceed the 60% limit on any of your investments, the
penalty interest will be 30%.

/NOTE! Every screenshots and figures in the Game Rules are only samples. Actual view is always in the
online game only./

THE REFINERY
Game concept
A regional company sold its refinery construction. Your company bought it and it is your task to make it
as profitable as possible.
Gasoline and diesel product lines have already been built. The refinery will be operable from the
beginning.

By clicking on each unit on the wide 3D view, you can take a look at a closer 360 panorama view with
a short description.

The following units are available from the beginning:

Crude Distillation Unit (CDU)
Light Naphtha Hydrotreater
Heavy Naphtha Hydrotreater
Light Naphtha Isomerisation Unit
CCR Reformer Unit
Gasoil Hydrotreater
The refinery will use crude bought from the market. The utilization rate can be set by adjusting the
imported crude volume.
Due to the limitations of technical processes, the annual refinery (CDU) utilization rate can not be less
than 60%. As a simplification, this restriction does not apply for other refinery units. The minimum
imported crude volume is always set automatically to match the minimum utilization rate. Some units
have a specified maximum capacity. For the other plants, where it is not specified, there is no
maximum throughput limit.

The company will be able to convert the products into money at market prices.
During the game, you have to make several decisions to operate and expand your refinery in an
optimal way. The goal is to achieve maximum amount of money at the end of the defined period. The
aim of the programmers was to create a game as realistic as possible, but it still contains several
simplifications to make the game easier to understand and more entertaining to play.

Playing the game

In each turn you have to make different decisions to optimize the efficiency of your refinery.
There will be operational decisions. You can:
alter the path of different refinery streams by splitters (S1-S6, B1-B3)

choose catalyst for HDS/MHC Unit (see later)

import crude and pay back credit at HQ (see later)
construct new units (see below)
Along the way, you can construct new facilities to keep up the competitiveness of your company and
to fulfil the environmental regulations and product qualities. Not all technologies are available from the
start. You can see your opportunities in the following table:

Utilities
Fuel: the energy consumed in the process to heat up the materials to the required temperature. Some
units produce fuel gas but that is not sufficient for the refinery. Excess fuel is bought from the market
as natural gas. Natural gas is also the feed of the Hydrogen Plant. The heating value is the same for
the produced fuel gas from all refinery units and the natural gas: 50 GJ/t. If more fuel is produced in
the refinery units than consumed, the excess fuel gas is burnt on the refinery flares.
Electricity: mainly intended to propel the pumps and move the feed and products, but used also for
light and for supplying control systems.
Cooling water: used in cooling processes for condensation and temperature control.

Steam: used for technological processes, heating and stripping. Some units produce more steam than
the necessary amount for operation. It is indicated with a negative value in steam consumption. If a
unit produces steam, the excess steam is redirected to other units for usage, but it can not be sold on
the market. If the amount of produced steam is not sufficient, the necessary amount is bought from the
market.
Hydrogen: Hydrogen is used in hydrotreater and isomerisation units. The price of the hydrogen varies
6

in time. Hydrogen can be produced or bought from the market. In the first part of the game external
hydrogen is purchased for 5000 F$/t, but starting from 2018 the hydrogen price increases dramatically
to 20000 F$/t (due to the availability from a different supplier). In case of more hydrogen is produced in
Reformer Unit than needed for refinery processes, the excess of hydrogen is burnt on the refinery
flares.
Catalyst: As a simplification, catalyst expenses are calculated as utility, except the HDS/MHC unit, in
which it is your task to change the catalyst every two years. Catalyst price is specified for each unit.

Utility prices
For all refinery units utilities are calculated proportional to the feed. Consumed hydrogen is not
calculated in the feed, but it appears in the product. That is why hydrogen consuming units have an
overall yield over 100%.

PROCESSES IN THE REFINERY

Crude Distillation Unit (CDU)
The first step in a refinery is the distillation of crude into different fractions. Lighter compounds are
separated in the predistillation and main (atmospheric) distillation columns. Heavy compounds have to
be distilled in a vacuum distillation column. The products of CDU are further processed in different
refinery units. Capacity of the CDU is 10000 kt/year. We would like to put emphasis on the fact that
Fuelgas is used by the refinery for heating, and it does not show in the final product summary (the final
balance may lack a few kt-s of product).

CCR Reformer
Catalytic reforming is a chemical process used to convert petroleum refinery naphthas, typically having
low octane ratings, into high-octane liquid products called reformates which are components of highoctane motor gasoline. Basically, the process re-arranges or re-structures the hydrocarbon molecules
in the naphtha feedstock into aromatic components as well as breaking some of the molecules into
smaller molecules. The overall effect is that the product reformate contains hydrocarbons with more
complex molecular shapes having higher octane values than the hydrocarbons in the naphtha
feedstock. In so doing, the process separates hydrogen atoms from the hydrocarbon molecules and
produces very significant amounts of byproduct hydrogen gas for use in a number of the other
processes involved in a modern petroleum refinery.

Hydrodesulphurization / Mild Hydrocracker Unit (HDS/MHC)

The aim of an HDS Unit is to pretreat the feed of the FCC Unit. It is similar to hydrotreating, but
operates on higher pressure and temperature. With the proper selection of HDS/MHC catalyst
moderate flexibility can be achieved in the refinerys product slate.
Two catalyst packages are available to choose from:
HDS catalyst: Removes significant amount of sulphur with low hydrocarbon conversion.
HDS/MHC catalyst: Removes significant amount of sulphur and converts a larger amount of heavy
components into more valuable light hydrocarbons, mainly gasoil.
Building the HDS unit: each team must set capacities before building the HDS unit! After the capacities
are set in the header of the panel by clicking on the appropriate one, HDS can be built, otherwise the
game does not allow the plant to be constructed.
HDS-MHC Unit is built along with the FCC Unit!!

*Both catalyst types' lifetime is 2 years, after this period the catalyst has to be changed, otherwise the
unit stops operating. Catalysts have to be ordered a year prior to the change! The construction cost of
the newly built HDS/MHC unit involves a HDS catalyst, by which the unit can start its operation in the
first 2 years. You do not have to wait 2 years if you would like to change the catalyst, you can do that
each year but of course ordering has to be done one year prior to change too.

A yellow pulsing triangle indicates that it is necessary to purchase the catalyst.

If there is no purchase, the operation of the unit will stop next year.

Total Investment Cost:

Before constructing the unit, you can choose among three maximum capacities. If necessary, the unit
can be revamped to higher capacity later in the game. Until the revamp is complete, the unit operates

Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCC)

Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) is a conversion process used in refineries. It is widely used to convert
the high molecular weight hydrocarbon fractions of crude oils to more valuable gasoline, olefinic gases
and other products.
The FCC process vaporizes and breaks the long-chain molecules of the high-boiling hydrocarbon
liquids into much shorter molecules by contacting the feedstock at high temperature and moderate
pressure with a fluidized powdered catalyst.
In effect, refineries use fluid catalytic cracking to correct the imbalance between the market demand
for gasoline and the excess of heavy, high boiling range products resulting from the distillation of crude
oil.

Delayed Coker Unit (DCU)

Delayed Coking is a thermal process in which the vacuum residue from crude distillation is converted
into lighter components and coke. The feed is heated in a furnace then confined in a reaction zone or
coke drum under proper operating conditions of temperature and pressure until the unvaporized
portion of the furnace effluent is converted to vapor and coke. Vapor is fractionated into different
products.

Asphaltic bitumen, normally called "bitumen" is obtained by vacuum distillation or vacuum flashing of
an atmospheric residue. This is straight run" bitumen. The physical properties of asphalts may further
be modified by 'air blowing'. This is an oxidation process which involves the blowing of air through the
asphalts, either on a batch or a continuous basis. Maximum capacity of the BBU Unit is 400 kt/year.

Hydrogen Production Plant (HPP)

Hydrogen is required in refineries for hydrotreating processes, to remove sulfur, nitrogen and other
impurities from hydrotreater feed. A limited quantity of hydrogen is produced in the catalytic reforming
of naphthas, but generally the quantity is insufficient to meet the requirements of the refinery.
Hydrogen is produced by the steam reforming of natural gas, which is bought from the market or
consumed from the refinery fuel gas pool (simplification).
The throughput of HPP is always determined by the demand of hydrotreaters. If maximum capacity is
reached, excess hydrogen is automatically bought from the market.

Claus Unit

Most crude oil contains varying amounts of sulfur. Hydrotreating various distillates from these crudes
generate hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is converted to elemental sulfur in the Claus Unit to minimize
atmospheric pollution. In the absence of sulfur recovery, the only option would be to burn this gas in
refinery furnaces, releasing huge amounts of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. A new government
law will come into force in 2018 imposing a serious penalty on H2S burning: 30000 F$/t.
The throughput of the Claus Unit is always determined by the H2S production of the hydrotreaters.

Gasoline Blending
Motor gasoline has to be blended from different streams to fulfil the environmental and quality
regulations. It is your task to blend marketable gasoline by setting up the splitters correctly. Excess
amount of blending components will be sold as Base Gasoline for a lower price. If the blended
gasoline does not meet the requirements, it will also be sold as Base Gasoline.
Gasoline Blending is not possible until all the components are available.

The properties of blended gasolines are calculated from the weighted average of the blending
component properties. The calculation is volume based (in V/V%). Refinery splitters related to
Gasoline blending can be adjusted with 0.1% units with the help of little +/- signs next to the splitter for
fine tuning the gasoline recipes to satisfy the strict specifications.
Example for calculation:
70%(V/V) FCC naphtha + 15%(V/V) Reformate + 15%(V/V) Isomerate
RON = 0.7 * 93.5 + 0.15 * 103 + 0.15 * 90 = 94.4

Crude Storage
In order to avoid losses of your company caused by fluctuation of crude oil price, you can invest into
construction of storage tanks. Although inventory management is a day by day process, in our game
let us assume that you can operate a year by year crude inventory that has been consolidated in time
and space. This way you can store only crude oil in your tanks. Without investments into extra tanks
you can import a maximum of 72.37 MMbbl crude oil to feed your refinery. If you would like to increase
this value, then you should invest into storage. Before constructing your tank farm, you can choose
different capacities at the top right part of the panel in 10 MMbbl increments. For simplification there is
not any OPEX that is calculated for your accumulated inventory. In the next year your refinery will try
to utilize your existing inventory, and after that the pre-ordered crude will be processed in the
distillation unit, or your tanks will be loaded in case of reaching the capacity limit of your CDU.

After your investing decision, there is no possibility to expand the capacity in the current year, so
choose carefully. Of course, you can expand your capacity in the following years but destroying is not
allowed. After investments into storage the maximum available crude that you can order will increase
with the storage capacity.
