Abstract
The downstream hydrocarbon processing industry is gearing
up to face new challenges in refining and marketing
of fuels, lubes and chemicals. Companies which make
the maximum use of information will gain a lasting advantage.
This white paper explains the importance of information
exchange between plant systems and describes how from
the plant level to the enterprise level, XML is one
of the means to address this information exchange effectively.
The paper also briefly touches on the standards and
specifications for such information exchange and also
provides an insight into the areas in which XML is already
being successfully used as a data exchange mechanism
in the refinery sector.
