Case Study: Global Supermajor achieves higher refining and steam‑cracker margins and faster, more reliable planning with Aspen Technology’s Aspen PIMS‑AO

Global Supermajor Deploys Aspen PIMS-AO Globally

Global Supermajor, a major integrated upstream, downstream and chemical company, needed best‑in‑class technology to improve production planning across its global refineries and petrochemical plants. After a thorough evaluation of multiple suppliers, Global Supermajor selected Aspen Technology’s Aspen PIMS‑AO (Advanced Optimization) to address solver quality, consistency and speed requirements for feedstock, yield and run‑plan decisions.

Aspen Technology deployed Aspen PIMS‑AO at more than 15 refining and petrochemical sites worldwide, providing faster runtimes, fewer local optima and the ability to run and analyze many more cases. The solution delivered improved crude and steam‑cracker feed selection, better run‑plan signals, measurably higher refining and steam‑cracker margins and increased confidence and profitability in planning decisions.
