performance
Emerson (NYSE: EMR) today announced the opening of a new $4
million Permian Basin Service Center to bring enhanced oil and gas
technologies and services to the fast-growing region. The
technology center is the latest investment in Emerson’s efforts to
guide customers on their path to digital transformation and train
the workforce of the future.
A leading automation technology and engineering company,
Emerson’s new center expands its longtime Permian Basin presence to
meet the growing demand for digital technologies to optimize
production efficiencies and support producers facing labor and
equipment shortages, and address workforce preparedness issues. The
16,000-square-foot facility provides local access to Emerson’s
portfolio of automation solutions spanning from intelligent field
devices and instrumentation to control systems, operations
management and enterprise management software. The facility also
provides quick access to lifecycle services options to ensure peak
performance and maximum uptime.
“The Permian Basin is changing the game for energy in the United
States and abroad,” said Emerson Chairman and CEO David N. Farr.
“As companies work to develop this critical region, we are helping
them implement and train their workforce on technologies that can
digitally transform and optimize their operations. Knowing how to
use these latest advancements can help companies maximize their
investments and set the industry up for success.”
The Permian – the most prolific oil-producing region in the
United States – has a critical need to expand its pipeline capacity
for U.S. consumption and export. The Emerson Service Center
connects pipeline operators with local experts and advanced
technologies to help expand capacity while meeting regulatory and
environmental concerns.
In addition to serving customers, Emerson’s new center will be
instrumental in providing local support to help fill the gaps
created by the strain of the high growth in the Permian. Training
capabilities on-site will help the industry bridge this skills gap
and build a robust workforce ready to face the challenge of the
digital workplace. Emerson’s commitment to STEM education and
partnerships with schools across the country, and in the Permian
Basin, will further support the development of a digital
workforce.
“Customers are facing mounting pressures due to a limited
skilled labor pool and challenges to obtaining access to parts and
technology,” said Lal Karsanbhai, executive president of Emerson’s
Automation Solutions business. “Our new center further establishes
our long-term commitment to the Permian and connects us directly
with our customers as we support them in meeting market demands to
increase production, enhance operations, minimize lease expenses
and improve safety.”
The facility will serve as a collaboration point for midstream,
upstream and gas processing customers, providing timely, local
support that enables customers to place an order, resolve
maintenance issues or discuss solutions for any immediate needs.
Customers will have access to Emerson’s complete lifecycle services
portfolio for valves, actuators, regulators and other assets to
improve reliability and optimize production. To help enhance
digital transformation knowledge, customers can also use Emerson’s
integrated customer engagement room for training and product
demonstrations. The service center will offer locally accessible
expertise from Emerson Operational Certainty Consultants to help
customers digitally transform their operations and achieve Top
Quartile performance (top 25 percent of peer performance).
Located next door to Vinson Process Controls, a local Emerson
Impact Partner, the training and service center will strengthen and
grow the company’s connection to the local community.
