| The refining and petrochemical industries have undergone extensive consolidations through mergers (such as Exxon/Mobil, BP/Amoco/Arco, Total/Fina/Elf, Chevron/Texaco, Valero/Ultramar, Conoco/Phillips and others) as well as restructuring. As the companies consolidate and refocus their operations, one of the unintended results is the loss of their internal talent pools and technical expertise. This comes at a time when companies are facing multiple challenges of intense competition and tightening environmental regulations. To fill the gap, companies are forced to rely more and more on process licensors, engineering contractors, and catalyst vendors for their technical expertise. Process licensors or catalyst vendors are not necessarily experienced operators of refinery processing units. They know the theoretical but not necessarily the practical aspects of the various processes. Additionally, they are not always “unbiased” in their views toward the selection of a process or catalyst in new applications.
