The presentation tracks the history of Real Time Optimization projects at REPSOL. Specifically, it describes the processes involved in:

The selection of the first few units for benefits studies and pilot project
Developing the project and skills required
Making the decision to push forward with the technology to other units
Keeping the optimizer running at its bests conditions
Following the initial projects, processes had to be adapted to monitor, ensure robustness, and validate the results. The actual value of the applications need to be assessed and tracked so that the team can be sure that the proper decisions were taken along the way. Finally, there is a need for ongoing maintenance of the applications.
