Faced with new levels of complexity, disruptions and pressure to meet customer demands, chemical supply chains have been tested as never before in recent years. In addition, there is the growing challenge to achieve net-zero targets while maintaining sustainable, profitable operations.

As operational demands increase and margins tighten, it’s no longer enough to rely on traditional predictive maintenance practices. To stay competitive, companies must embrace a more integrated, proactive approach to Asset Performance Management (APM)—one that combines AI/ML, safety-first maintenance practices and smarter investment planning to transform asset management.

Volatility and uncertainty in energy markets continues and global energy demand grows. Upstream companies must operate with much more agility and quantify uncertainty more than ever before.

In today's challenging and rapidly evolving energy environment, the ability to make critical exploration and production decisions hinges on accurate data and robust subsurface models.

Process safety remains a top priority for companies worldwide, but balancing CAPEX against the need to design safety systems for multiple emergencies can be challenging. Aspen HYSYS Dynamics™ and Aspen Flare System Analyzer™ are proven to accurately model flare systems while reducing CAPEX.

Sulfur recovery units (SRUs) are critical to process plants to ensure product quality and meet environmental regulations.

Advanced simulation tools are key to overcoming the challenges of the green hydrogen economy. Process engineers who leverage Aspen Plus® simulation software can optimize hydrogen production processes, boost efficiency and reduce costs.

Seismic inversion of rock properties is crucial for geoscientists assessing the integrity of reservoirs and surrounding formations. Geophysicists face challenges such as limited seismic data resolution, structural complexity and the need for high-productivity technology to meet project deadlines.

Mandated to aggressively reduce emissions, today’s refining and chemical companies must also find new ways to improve energy efficiency and—in turn—margins. The sooner owner/operators uncover opportunities for improvement, the faster they can advance operational excellence goals.
