Petrotechnics technology selected for Aramco Jazan refinery
DAMMAM, Saudi Arabia – Petrotechnics, the developer of Proscient – the hazardous industries’ first software platform for Operational Excellence – has been selected by Accenture to deliver its solution for Saudi Aramco’s new Jazan refinery complex. Proscient will be implemented as part of Saudi Aramco’s integrated manufacturing operations management system (imoms) to reduce risk, improve productivity and lower costs.
The $2.1 billion refinery will have the capacity to process 400,000 bpd of crude oil and produce 80,000 bpd of gasoline, 250,000 bpd of ultra-low sulphur diesel and over 1 MMtpy of benzene and paraxylene products. This output will help meet Saudi Arabia’s domestic energy demand, as well as increase its share of high value fuel exports to international markets. The complex is due for completion later this year.
The system will enable connected, collaborative and safe industrial operations; closing the loop between operations, maintenance and engineering through joined-up processes and assets to transform business operations. It is a set of 12 applications, 20 integrated solutions and 550 processes encompassing risk management, production management and activity management.
Proscient will deliver the PSORMS capabilities within imoms to mitigate operational risk and optimize the work schedule dynamically and graphically. It will facilitate the capture and management of work permits, real-time risk analysis, incident reporting, emergency preparedness and safety response, KPIs and management of change.
“Imoms enables the connected, collaborative and safe industrial operations of the future – today. Proscient is a core component of imoms and will support better decision making,” said Massimo Pagella, Managing Director of Resources, Accenture. “Petrotechnics’ long track record and approach to helping oil and gas organisations deliver safer and more effective operations combined with the strength of Proscient made them the best choice for imoms and Saudi Aramco.”
