Domain Expertise Moat in AI-Native Product Design (Refinery CAD Focus) Most CAD tools are built by people who’ve never designed a refinery. You can tell the moment you open them. A CAD system built by a graphics engineer solves “how do I render millions of points in real time?” That’s a hard problem. But it’s […]

50% of oil & gas companies use digital twins, saving billions. But most twins model equipment, not the engineering standards underneath. The missing compliance layer is the biggest opportunity in process safety AI.
For the first time since 1977, someone is building a new crude oil refinery in the United States. America First Refining broke ground this month on a 168,000 barrel-per-day facility at the Port of Brownsville, Texas. Fluor is running front-end engineering. Axens is licensing the hydroprocessing, catalytic reforming, and isomerization units. Reliance Industries is backing

50% of oil & gas firms use digital twins in 2026. Shell saves $2B/year. But most digital twins model equipment, not the compliance standards underneath. That gap is where real risk lives.
Polaris reached 150 million °C and the first private D-T fusion. Now Orion is breaking ground in Malaga, and Microsoft’s 2028 PPA is on the clock.
