Watch Hydrocarbon Engineering’s latest Spotlight Interview with @kbc_at here: https://t.co/Cot3h2uteR

We talk to Simon Rogers, Chief Technology Officer, KBC, about how physics-based models, AI, and contextualised enterprise data are converging to improve performance and decision making in the downstream sector.

We discuss:

• What has changed in the industry that makes process twins and industrial AI possible today.
• Why process twins are a prerequisite for industrial AI.
• The business case for process twins and industrial AI.
• Organisational and cultural challenges facing refiners when implementing process twins and industrial AI.
• Practical steps that refiners should take today to prepare for increasingly autonomous operations.
