The upstream oil and gas sector has faced a variety of challenges such as unpredictable oil prices, changing patterns of demand and ensuring safe working conditions at remote sites. Accelerated digitalization programs, particularly those that include digital twin technology, can provide agility and resilience to better handle future market uncertainty and lay the foundation for longer term competitive advantage.

Increase throughput and operating efficiency through data-driven decisions enabled by plant-calibrated predictive models in an operator-friendly interface.

With downstream margins globally close to a 10-year low, according to S&P Global Platts Analytics and ExxonMobil, companies need to find new areas for improvement. Current digital solutions offer ways plants can move beyond mechanical and equipment investments to drive greater profits. Download this white paper that outlines high impact operational improvements that deliver immediate results.

This case study details the methodical approach a global supermajor took, utilizing best-in-class technology, to improve production planning in global refineries and chemical plants with Aspen PIMS-AO technology. Based on side-by-side testing of different technologies, Aspen PIMS-AO led to new insights, increased confidence in results and enhanced conversations with traders.

The time it takes to troubleshoot issues such as column flooding, and unexpected outcomes from trying to optimize processes can affect the bottom line. Is it possible for process engineers who build complex simulation models full of deep insights, to easily share these models with engineers and operators in the plant? Though not without some initial doubt, Ahmed explains how SABIC did exactly this and drove down costs, streamlined processes and maximized performance to increase margins. SABIC uncovered new opportunities to optimize the business and product innovations and increased their ability to compete globally. All of this was accomplished by putting their simulations models into Microsoft Excel.
