Bitumen Penetration Prediction
Problem
- Heavy vacuum gas oil (HVGO) is a valuable end-product where bitumen penetration impacts the yield of the product
- Accuracy of the current statistical model to predict bitumen penetration is not satisfactory to increase HVGO yield
Action
- Analyzed the crude oil distribution network to identify the main source of complexity and mathematically described the network
- Developed an advanced analytics model to more precisely predict bitumen penetration level
- The model was integrated into client’s system and process with dashboard visualization
