Unlocking the Potential of PMMs: Lessons Learned in the Permian
June 18, 2025
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.
