Overview of decarbonization pathways for the oil and gas and petrochemical industries—Part 1
This two-part article will cover the seven pathways to decarbonizing the oil and gas and petrochemical industries.
High risk, high stakes: Why digitalization is critical for hydrocarbon processing
Hydrocarbon processing, by nature, is a high-risk operation.
Rotating equipment oil systems optimization guideline
The industry is moving away from oil shaft seals and hydraulic speed control for turbines to advanced alternatives.
HP Flashback: Operations expand and technologies advance during global conflict: Excerpts from the 1940s
This articles details several case studies on the use of x-ray technology for inspection purposes. This includes for the inspection of casings, forgings and welded structures, among others.
HP Flashback: Operations, processes and safety evolve and advance: Excerpts from the 1930s
The following is a mixture of technical articles, columns and headlines published in the 1930s by <i>The Refiner and Natural Gasoline Manufacturer</i>, the forerunner to <i>Hydrocarbon Processing</i>.
Why robotic process automation is quickly becoming a must for downstream companies
For the refining operation that wants to relieve its planning team of mind-numbing manual data-management tasks, there are bots for that.
Business Trends: Protecting OT environments against targeted cyber attacks
Digitalization and Industry 4.0 initiatives require tight integration between complex, heterogeneous and highly complex industrial control systems (ICS) and enterprise information technology (IT).
Sustainability through efficiency: A plan for the refining industry
The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emissions will decrease through 2050 in Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries (OECD), which includes the U.S.<sup>1</sup>
Shrinking the carbon footprint: A digital transformation roadmap for green fuel producers
From ethanol and renewable diesel to biofuels and gas-to-liquids, the world is moving toward low-carbon energy sources to mitigate climate change and boost energy security.
Safety and environmental benefits of reliability engineering
When you boil down the mission of reliability to its bare essence, the job is to deliver maximum operational availability for the least amount of money over the lifecycle of the asset.
