The shift toward renewable fuels has introduced new operational realities for refiners. While biofuels offer clear sustainability benefits, their chemical composition and processing paths create corrosion mechanisms that differ in both severity and location from those seen in traditional petroleum refining.
Most major refinery incidents do not start with dramatic failures. They start with small, unremarkable changes that go unnoticed until it is too late.
The $1.5 Trillion Mining Boom newsletter highlights that the global mining industry has entered a new investment super-cycle with roughly $1.5 trillion in active mining projects worldwide, while operators and suppliers alike are navigating tighter timelines, more demanding operating conditions, and higher expectations for execution reliability.
Jim Cahill’s podcast conversation with Emerson’s Knut Riegel explores what “proximity to the customer” looks like in practice, and which leading indicators signal a healthy service ecosystem.
In oil and gas, edge intelligence has become central to how operators run complex, distributed assets. They collect data at the well, run inference locally, and adjust how they extract based on whether a well is just coming online or in a more mature phase.
Innovation does not just happen among the primary automation suppliers. Innovative ideas need nurturing and time to prove their value.
