All in the Data
ENAP have utilized VM-PA software and improved its decision making in areas including refinery optimization and production planning. Read how the Chilean state-owned petroleum company engaged KBC to give them an unique, reliable, and auditable platform, with daily volume/mass balances for tanks/process unit balances. This has improved production, refining, loading, and reduced apparent or potentially real losses.
Key steps for delivering autonomous operations
Achieving autonomous operations is all about empowering the plant to run, learn, adapt and thrive in tomorrow’s environment. Dynamic real-time optimization gives a fast automated response based on the actual changes in raw material properties, product demand, and operating conditions.

In the past, when oil prices were higher, upstream producers were very focused on managing their assets for maximum production volume. However, in the current and forecast business environment, there is a much greater need to manage for value. Maximum value is not always maximum flow; this can sometimes lead to value destruction. So what does managing for value mean for an upstream producer?
