Unlocking the Potential of PMMs: Lessons Learned in the Permian

June 18, 2025
Sponsored by: Baker Hughes
Environmental performance plays a crucial role in energy production today. Providing effective solutions to boost efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint of oil field operations is a top priority, especially in unconventional wells where changing well performance, decreasing production rates, and bottom hole pressure present unique challenges. Join us for this webcast where you’ll discover the environmental and economic benefits of Permanent Magnet Motors (PMMs) over conventional Induction Motors (IMs) in oil field operations. Our experts will share insights from over 170 PMM installations in the Permian, highlighting a pilot well where the operator experienced significant reductions in power consumption and carbon footprint, all while increasing uptime and production. Learn how the wide operating range and peak electrical performance of PMMs can address these challenges effectively.

Best Practices to Improve Design and Operations of Sulfur Recovery Units with Aspen HYSYS®

May 14, 2025
Sponsored by: AspenTech
Sulfur recovery units (SRUs) are critical to process plants to ensure product quality and meet environmental regulations. However, SRUs present challenges with limited performance insights due to unpredictable catalyst degradation and feed composition-dependent optimization. Additionally, varied plant configurations and rapidly evolving technology add to the complexity. Join SGS Sulphur Experts to learn how Aspen HYSYS® process simulation—powered by Sulsim Sulfur Recovery™ technology—enables you to: • Avoid upsets and compliance failure • Maximize sulfur recovery • Prevent catalyst deactivation • Minimize incinerator fuel use A Q&A session will follow the presentation.

From data to decision: Fast-tracking CO₂ storage site selection

May 07, 2025
Sponsored by: Baker Hughes
As carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects ramp up worldwide, one of the biggest early-stage challenges remains: identifying viable storage sites with confidence, speed, and clarity. Most current solutions fall short—fragmented data, limited subsurface insight, and uncertainty in economic viability slow down the decision-making process, especially for industrial players who lack in-house geoscience expertise. In this webinar, we’ll explore a new, integrated approach that combines decades of global subsurface data with advanced analytics to deliver reliable, actionable insights for CO₂ storage screening. Tailored especially for depleted gas fields—known for their superior storage efficiency—this workflow fills a critical gap in the market by enabling faster, better-informed decisions on where to store CO₂ and whether it’s worth the investment. Join us as we unpack how this solution reduces time-to-development and brings together geological, geophysical, and economic factors into a single, streamlined view—built for those who need confidence from day one.
