The future of energy will be won by those who turn data into foresight first. Operators are under pressure to run harder, longer, and with far less tolerance for structural uncertainty—especially as North America scales energy supply for data centers, LNG, and refining. SPM is how operators regain control.

North America sits at the center of heavy industry, LNG expansion, and the accelerating power demand driven by AI workloads. Operators across the region manage some of the world’s most complex steel infrastructure – from refineries and petrochemical corridors to offshore systems and LNG terminals – and face intensifying pressure to scale output safely, reliably, and economically.
CERAWeek 2026 brings a sharper focus on the systems behind the energy transition — and the pressures reshaping them. Themes such as electricity, AI, supply-chain dominance, and the geopolitics of critical minerals signal an industry operating under new constraints. Rising power demand from data centers, shifts in global gas flows, and tight supply chains are redefining how assets must perform day to day.
Executives are looking for practical pathways to deliver energy security, resilience in a shifting landscape, and infrastructure that can scale under increasingly volatile conditions. The conversation has moved beyond digital transformation into how advanced computing, automation, and operational AI can create real foresight in complex systems.
Within this context, structural integrity becomes a strategic capability — not a back-office function. Operators need to understand how their assets behave under changing loads, new operating envelopes, and higher utilization, especially as the region builds out the infrastructure required for AI, LNG expansion, and next-generation power systems.
SPM gives operators the structural foresight today’s conditions demand. With physics-based AI and full-fidelity models, it shows how assets respond to higher loads, changing operating envelopes, and tighter reliability expectations.
As energy systems become more interconnected — and more constrained — SPM reveals where margins are closing, where risk is building, and where performance can be safely unlocked. It unifies integrity and operations in one predictive view, helping teams run assets safely with maximum output for the longest time possible.
The Innovation Agora is CERAWeek’s marketplace for ideas in energy innovation — a space where technologists, operators, investors, and policy leaders explore emerging pathways for lower emissions, reliability, and next-generation performance.

Come and join us at the Agora on Tuesday, March 24, where our leadership team will explore how structural intelligence is becoming a core capability for an energy system under strain.
We are also available for analysts, journalists, and industry commentators seeking clarity on the algorithm race reshaping energy, infrastructure, and the future of operational AI.
Thomas leads the company from inception to becoming a trusted partner for operators managing some of the world’s most complex assets. His work sits at the intersection of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, applying the right tools to the right problems, and driving disruptive innovation that strengthens real-world infrastructure.
Sean works closely with refining and industrial leaders to move from complexity-driven operations to clarity-driven performance. He helps organizations scale SPM across entire systems to capture margin, strengthen resilience, and embed structural intelligence into everyday decisions.
