Natural gas has been a key energy source for over 200 years, supporting heating, the generation of electricity and manufacturing. While pipelines remain the safest transport method, maintaining gas operations to meet the varying demands of a wide range of customers has become increasingly complex.

Access to scalable computing power enables rapid pipeline simulations. Combined with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms it can enhance gas transmission and distribution operations.

In this article, Atmos International’s (Atmos) CEO and founder Dr Jun Zhang examines how simulation software and artificial intelligence can optimize gas pipeline operations.
