Abstract
This Energy Insights report reviews the major refining companies and their
approach to a refinery of the future, along with information technology vendor
offerings to this segment of the oil and gas industry.
According to Jill Feblowitz, practice director, Business Technology, "The low
margins of refining remain, but the refinery business has changed substantially
with changes in product mix, changes in the quality of crude, further
globalization of an already global industry, and advances in engineering and
information technology. The refinery of the future will give way to the
refinery network of the future."
