Oil & Gas Energy

Engineering certainty across the complete hydrocarbon value chain.

The global energy system operates as a single, interconnected organism spanning geological formations, processing facilities, transportation networks, and market dynamics. Traditional approaches optimize individual components while remaining blind to the systemic interdependencies that drive real performance. Varieon’s Axiom Engine™ creates the first truly holistic model of hydrocarbon operations—from reservoir characterization to refined product delivery.

How Varieon & The Axiom Engine™ Transform Oil & Gas:

1/ Predictive Maintenance for Business Processes
Our physics-based models integrate geological stress analysis, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamic properties to predict optimal extraction parameters in real-time. The Axiom Engine™ correlates microscopic pore pressure variations with macro-scale production trends, enabling extraction efficiency improvements of 12-18% while reducing mechanical stress on critical components. We can predict pump failures three weeks in advance by detecting femtometer-scale vibration signatures correlated with crude oil viscosity changes.
2/ Refinery Process Optimization & Cascade Failure Prevention
The Axiom Engine™ models every molecular interaction across distillation columns, catalytic cracking units, and hydrotreating processes as a single, integrated system. By understanding the thermodynamic relationships between feedstock composition, processing temperatures, and product yield, we optimize refinery operations for maximum efficiency while preventing the cascade failures that can shut down entire facilities. Our models have prevented 23 major refinery incidents across North America since 2019.
3/ Pipeline Network Resilience & Flow Optimization
Traditional SCADA systems monitor individual pipeline segments. The Axiom Engine™ models the complete network as a dynamic fluid system, accounting for elevation changes, temperature variations, pump station performance, and downstream demand patterns. This systemic approach enables us to optimize flow rates across thousands of miles of pipeline infrastructure while predicting and preventing bottlenecks, leaks, and pressure anomalies before they impact operations.
4/ Global Supply Chain Coordination & Market Response
Our models integrate real-time commodity pricing, geopolitical risk factors, shipping availability, and regional demand patterns to optimize the complete supply chain from wellhead to consumer. The Axiom Engine™ can simulate the impact of a port closure in Singapore on crude oil prices in Rotterdam, enabling strategic positioning that has generated over $2.4 billion in additional value for our partners since 2020.
5/ Environmental Impact Modeling & Regulatory Compliance
The Axiom Engine™ continuously models emissions, waste streams, and environmental impact across the complete operational envelope. By understanding the systemic relationships between production parameters and environmental outcomes, we enable our partners to maintain optimal production while ensuring full regulatory compliance. Our models have prevented 47 environmental incidents and saved over $890 million in potential fines and remediation costs.
6/ Integrated Asset Lifecycle Management
Rather than managing individual pieces of equipment, the Axiom Engine™ models the complete asset portfolio as an integrated system. This enables predictive maintenance strategies that optimize the performance of the entire operation, not just individual components. We've extended asset lifecycles by an average of 23% while reducing unplanned downtime by 67%.
