 With increasing investments in digital technologies, oil refineries are adopting big data analytics technologies to improve performance and reduce costs. Big data is high-volume, high-velocity and high-variety information asset used for enhanced insight and decision making. Sources of big data in a refinery include process control systems, laboratory information systems, and asset management systems. For instance, a large refinery can have 100,000 distinct measurements and thus an enormous amount of data can be gathered and transformed into business knowledge to optimize production and maximize commercial potential. Big data analytics tools like analytic equations and neural networks are used to predict failure and poor performance in the refining process. Companies like GE, IBM, Oracle, SAS and EMC are offering analytics solutions to oil refineries. Refiners are adopting these technologies to perform operations with greater flexibility, as it improves access to manufacturing data at all organizational levels to drive quicker decisions.
