In 1982, I wrote an article called “Using process computers as robots for refining operations,” which was published in the May issue of Hydrocarbon Processing.
Embedding machines with artificial intelligence (AI) allows them to learn from their past experiences.
Several major downstream companies have recently embarked upon large-scale digital transformations with anticipated capital spending tallying in the tens to hundreds of millions of dollars.
The operational cost structure of oil and gas companies is very capital- and labor-intensive.

Integration is the new keyword for sustainability and profit in today’s oil and gas market scenario.
Dr. Kheng Lau, BP, presented the keynote address on using high-fidelity simulators for training on day two of Hydrocarbon Processing’s International Refining and Petrochemical Conference (IRPC) Americas.
