BP Afton Chemicals

BP and Afton Chemical embarked on a joint venture to develop next-generation fuels, requiring a reliable IT infrastructure to manage large-scale vehicle testing and data analysis. Creative Networks delivered a centralised solution to capture, process, and securely distribute high volumes of performance data—enabling both companies to focus on innovation, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.

About the Companies:

BP plc is one of the world’s leading oil and gas companies, operating across global energy markets with a focus on performance, innovation, and sustainability. Afton Chemical is a recognised global manufacturer of fuel and lubrication additives, known for advancing engine efficiency and fuel quality. Together, the two industry leaders joined forces on a collaborative project aimed at shaping the future of fuel technology—combining expertise to improve performance while meeting environmental expectations.

What were the challenges?

BP and Afton Chemical partnered on a joint venture to explore the next generation of fuel. With surging demands for fuel, it is vital for leading companies like BP and Afton Checmicals to stay at the forefront and constantly develop and refine fuel for both economy and efficiency. Whilst doing so, it also is fulfilling their social responsibility to protect the environment.

To achieve this, they required a specialist team. The trials were to be carried out and Germany using a range of Mercedes and Volkswagen cars. Each car was fitted with specialist equipment to read data, which had been logged from the vehicles over the period of one week. The trials lasted for several months producing a vast amount of data from each vehicle every day. Once the data was captured, it was soon realised a method of analysing and distributing the data was required.

What were the solutions?

Creative Networks was engaged to analyse, manage and distribute the data to all the involved parties. Thrilled at the opportunity, engineers met with the team and the manufacturers of the data capture systems to find a research its functions and operations.

A project plan was created and Creative Networks took control of the management of data. Each week data from 6 vehicles was shipped to our offices. Using specialist equipment and software the data was converted, analysed and reports were generated. The reports were then delegated to the necessary participants.

The project was successful and it allowed vital research to be carried out.
