Bridgestone Japan’s Experience Offers a Roadmap to Navigate the Challenges

Learn how a leading integrated energy company migrated to Aspen Unified PIMS in less than three months, quickly trained 25 users and provided planners with an easier, faster way to share information—all on one Unified server.

HD Hyundai Oilbank, a major South Korean refinery, produces gasoline, diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, LPG and naphtha. Due to changes in feed blending ratios every two days, engineers spent significant time recalibrating process simulation models before each use.

Learn how AspenTech processing and imaging software enabled more accurate reservoir characterization of the KG basin off the coast of India. Sharper subsurface images provided a more detailed description of the reservoir and enhanced data interpretability, while the use of advanced broadband processing enabled the extraction of additional information from legacy data, with no need for further costly acquisition. Better mapping of gas hydrate deposits led to the identification of a site for pilot production drilling.

HPCL’s Mumbai Refinery faced a major issue with product quality giveaways, as assessing product quality was both challenging and time-consuming.

Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries Company (KIPIC), a subsidiary of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC), operates the Al Zour refinery—the world’s largest grassroots facility with a processing capacity of 615,000 barrels per day.

With global demand for propylene on the rise, Saudi Aramco—one of the world’s largest integrated energy and chemicals companies—set out to optimize its Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) reactor units to increase propylene production.

HPCL Visakh Refinery was tasked with expanding the capacity of its from 8.3 MMTPA to 15 MMTPA—and had to do so without increasing the current sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions levels.

Like many utilities across the US, Michigan-based Consumers Energy is navigating significant change.

A leading petrochemical company with one of the world’s largest, most sophisticated integrated petrochemical complexes, Borouge was looking to gain greater visibility over processes to accommodate feed fluctuations and better coordinate operating conditions across multiple units.
