According to a June 2020 McKinsey report, "The Next Normal in Construction," EPCs have an opportunity to double their profitability by embracing a handful of “emerging disruptors.”  One of these disruptors, digitalization of processes, is within reach of most EPCs and aligns with initiatives already underway at many firms.  Join us to learn more about:

• McKinsey’s view on how emerging disruptors can drive dramatic improvement in profitability for EPCs
• AspenTech’s approach to a more integrated, digital FEED process through standardization and connectivity of engineering information
• Practical next steps you can take to accelerate your digitalization initiatives

Trends in traditional and new energy markets reveal major trends in global energy markets.  Oil infrastructure stages a comeback from historic lows, while natural gas, hydrogen  and renewables point the way to a very different energy future.

Refining and petrochemical producers face increased pressure to maximize margins while meeting sustainability targets. For any manufacturing operation, a resilient, dependable process control system and electrical system is critical. In this webinar, learn how integrating data into a single window for both process performance and electrical power consumption delivers performance, productivity and ultimately, profit gains.

Join James Ladd and Shebin Jalal to hear how combining electrical and process information can:

• Give operators unified visibility to what is happening so they can decide on the next best action.
• Respond to changing process conditions or power consumption conditions to maintain production.
• Track and trend power consumption to identify potential equipment malfunction and wear.
• Easily understand power usage to uncover energy saving opportunities

In the midst of the energy transition, hydrogen stands apart as a versatile alternative fuel, which can be utilized in a wide range of situations. Join the Gulf Energy Information research team as they review the following:

• the current state of the hydrogen market
• assess the development status of key projects around  the globe
• discuss the policies and regulatory factors shaping the future development of this vital market segment.

With researchers based in London, Houston and Mumbai, Gulf Energy Information is your market intelligence source for the international energy industry, with project insights covering Hydrogen, Gas Processing/LNG, Refining/Petrochemicals, Renewables and Oil & Gas Pipelines.

As the world’s economy works to recover from the demand destruction seen over this past year, the research team from Global Energy Infrastructure will look at how the refinery and petrochemical industries have worked to survive and progress. In this webcast the team will review the following:

• The energy transition and its effect on the current industry
• Existing refinery futures
• Projects on the horizon
• Integrated projects
• Regional lockdowns
• Emerging technologies

In addition, the team will cover how different regions are working through the pandemic in unique and varying ways including, to government restrictions, industry demand changes and other factors.

The global pandemic has disrupted the process industries as never before. Shifting market demands and an increasingly remote workforce are challenging companies to operate safely, efficiently and profitably. At the same time, they cannot lose sight of their long-term sustainability goals. Fortunately, advances in technology are helping downstream, upstream and chemical leaders not just adapt, but find new ways to improve operations, reduce risk and create value—all while driving toward a safer, more sustainable business.

Join AspenTech experts for a timely, informative webinar as they discuss how asset owners and operators can leverage digital innovations to:

• Improve visibility across the organization to make faster, smarter decisions
• Empower remote users with the tools to optimize operations from anywhere
• Identify issues well in advance to ensure asset integrity, maximize uptime
• Use data analytics to identify improvements and reduce environmental impact

Discover how breakthrough technologies such as digital twins, AI and prescriptive maintenance can be used strategically to sustain operations in any market condition.

There will be a Q&A session following the event. We encourage you to join the conversation by submitting questions when registering.
