Different refineries has different complexity. Nelson Complexity Index (NCI) is an index to determine its complexity. A more complex refinery can produce more products and can use more type of crude oil as input. Here is Lotte Titan product:http://www.lottechem.my/products/productGuide_view.asp?code=C201 and here is Petronas BASF product http://www.basf-petronas.com.my/products. You can say BASF Petronas has a more complex output product, but its not a guarantee of profitability. Profitability still depends on the crack spread margin between input price and output price
