The refining and petrochemical industries face an increasingly challenging level of stakeholder expectations. Companies must produce fuels and chemicals at a reasonable cost, while consistently operating in a safe and socially responsible manner. In addition, the industry needs to respond to the demand for cleaner fuels by upgrading existing refinery technologies and developing new fuel sources and additives. This coupled with aging assets and several high-profile accidents in the industry has lead companies to make significant investments to maintain and extend capacity while reducing costs. Companies that can operate assets more efficiently, reliably and safely than the competition will be more successful in the long run. This involves risks that operators need to address.
