Compressor anti-surge control is not an advanced control technique. The topic has been replaced by "Intelligent Control". |
Adding Artificial Intelligence section as a recent advanced process control strategy in the industry. |

Most large operating facilities, such as oil refineries, employ a number of control system specialists and professionals, ranging from field instrumentation, regulatory control system (DCS and PLC), advanced process control, and control system network and security. Depending on facility size and circumstances, these personnel may have responsibilities across multiple areas, or be dedicated to each area. There are also many process control service companies that can be hired for support and services in each area.
== Artificial Intelligence and Process Control ==
The use of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques in Process Control is also considered as an advanced process control approach in which intelligence is used to further optimize operational parameters.
Operations and Logics in process control systems in oil and gas and for decades are based only on physics equations that dictates parameters along with operators’ interactions based on experience and operating manuals. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms can look into the dynamic operational conditions, analyse them and suggest optimized parameters that can either directly tune logic parameters or give suggestion to operators. Interventions by such intelligent models leads to optimization in cost, production and safety.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.sparkcognition.com/2016/04/sparkblog-oil-and-gas-ai-and-the-promise-of-a-better-tomorrow/|title=Oil and Gas, AI, and the Promise of a Better Tomorrow|date=2016-04-06|work=SparkCognition Inc|access-date=2018-03-23|language=en-US}}</ref>
