Project Overview
Austin Visuals partnered with Tesoro to create a 3D oil and gas animation for their Los Angeles Refinery Integration and Compliance (LARIC) project. The project, which involved a $460 million investment, aimed to modernize refinery operations, reduce emissions, and generate economic benefits for the local community. The animation was designed to effectively communicate these goals to a broad audience, including community members, leaders, and local officials.
The Challenge
The LARIC project involved complex technical processes, including:
- Emission Reductions: Illustrating how the project would significantly cut greenhouse gases and improve air quality.
- Refinery Modernization: Demonstrating upgrades to refinery operations, including the integration of the Carson and Wilmington facilities.
- Community Impact: Showcasing the job creation and tax revenue increases that would benefit the local economy.
The video needed to clearly explain these details in an engaging and accessible way for a diverse audience.
The Solution: High-Quality Oil and Gas Animation
Austin Visuals produced a detailed oil and gas animation that visually explained the key components of the LARIC project:
- Visual Storytelling: The animation used aerial views and technical schematics to show how the integration of the Carson and Wilmington refineries would enhance efficiency and reduce emissions.
- Emission Control: We highlighted the advanced pipeline technologies used to minimize corrosion and leaks, illustrating how the project would significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions.
- Economic and Community Impact: The video emphasized job creation and tax revenue growth, reinforcing Tesoro’s commitment to improving the local economy.
- Dynamic Visuals: Visual elements like spinning arrows, pipeline construction, and tanks filling with crude oil were used to effectively explain the processes involved in the project’s upgrades.
Key Features of the Oil and Gas Animation
- Emission Reductions: The animation clearly showed how the project would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 70,000 metric tons annually, equivalent to taking 13,500 cars off the road.
- Job Creation: The video emphasized the creation of over 4,000 construction jobs and $32.3 million in tax revenue for the state and local government.
- Community Benefits: Through engaging visuals, we helped communicate the positive impact of the LARIC project on the environment and the local community.
The Result
Austin Visuals delivered a high-quality oil and gas animation that successfully conveyed the environmental and economic benefits of the LARIC project. Tesoro used the video to engage and inform community members, leaders, and stakeholders, ensuring clear communication of the project’s goals and impact.
