Second Study of EPE – Energy Research Company, Espírito Santo May Be the Destination of Investments in Small Refineries

According to the conclusion of a study by EPE – Energy Research Company, Espírito Santo may become a destination for investments in small refinery projects, as it can provide some solutions for entrepreneurs. The study took into account several variables to determine the economic-financial viability of small refineries in the State. In addition to tax issues, the survey considered the type of oil to be processed (marine or terrestrial) and the model of the refinery under construction.

The result obtained by the researchers indicated that the supply conditions of raw materials have been shown to be “related to the improvement of the feasibility of the enterprises.” This is because the discount on the purchase of onshore oil is a decisive factor for the project’s enhancement compared to the installation using only offshore oil.

The detailed study states that “Thus, the simulations carried out considering a processing of 50% terrestrial oil and 50% marine oil obtained higher return rates than the processing of 100% offshore oil. This occurs, in part, due to the price differential of inputs due to a lower appreciation of terrestrial oil compared to marine oil.”

EPE’s research pointed out that projects with an internal rate of return higher than the minimum attractiveness rate (TMA) tend to be more interesting to investors. The study shows that “When evaluating the achievement of the Minimum Attractiveness Rate (TMA), set at 8%, only the Convergence trajectory, with a refining scheme that includes FCC (Cracking), with mixed processing (50% terrestrial/50% marine) and application of federal and state benefits presented an IRR higher than the TMA, corresponding to a value of 9%.”

EPE also noted that the study did not consider other issues, such as risk mitigation options for the project, such as previous investment contracts, and specific incentives for processing oil from terrestrial sedimentary basins in refineries.
