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.

Path to Carbon Reduction Future: Enterprise GHG Emission Accounting and Management
April 30, 2025
Sponsored by: Envana
Path to Carbon Reduction Future: Enterprise GHG Emission Accounting and Management will be a joint webinar by Envana and PETRONAS, offering a deep dive into real-world experiences in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions management.
This session will provide a detailed case study on how PETRONAS is implementing best practices in carbon accounting, identifying key success factors, and overcoming common challenges. Experts from both organizations will share what is working, potential pitfalls, and strategies to navigate them effectively. The discussion will cover GHG data accuracy, compliance with reporting frameworks (e.g., GHG Protocol), and the role of digital tools in streamlining emissions tracking and reduction efforts.
Attendees will gain practical insights into aligning sustainability goals with operational realities, leveraging technology for emissions management, and building a resilient, low-carbon strategy. This session is ideal for sustainability leaders, ESG professionals, and corporate decision-makers looking to refine their GHG management approach.

Unlocking bypassed resources - Advanced coiled tubing drilling solutions for mature assets
April 23, 2025
Sponsored by: Baker Hughes
In mature assets, operators may discover that hydrocarbons were missed during initial phases of extraction due to a variety of reasons ranging from limited surface slots and reservoir compartmentalization to inefficient sweeps or fluids migration.
In this webcast, we will explore how the application of coiled-tubing technologies with fit-for-purpose solutions can tap into hydrocarbons missed during initial phases of extraction—boosting recovery from existing reservoirs while reducing the operational carbon footprint. The webcast will include success stories demonstrating how a portfolio of coiled-tubing drilling technologies has been applied in drilling new wells, side tracks, slot recovery, well deepening, and infill drilling.
