Mobil™ Presents: Mining into the Future
Technological innovations. Advancing your ambitions. Workforce development.
These might sound like buzzwords, but they’re topics that mining pros struggle with every day.
The mining industry faces seismic changes. As focus turns to meeting the industry’s sustainability ambitions and advancing change, meeting these new challenges will require technological innovation, supply chain management and workforce development. The future of mining is here.
The Mining into the Future series brings together some of the most influential thought leaders from the mining industry to break down the most pressing issues, so together, we can shape the future of mining.
Check out our past Mining into the Future Events:
Whether it’s tips to launch your sustainability journey or strategies to cut costs and reduce risk, mining pros have a wealth of knowledge to share. As former Top Gun Vincent “Bluto” Saporito shared during our networking reception, strong leadership and collaboration can empower organizations to transform internal and external perspectives.
When people from all disciplines in the mining industry come together, our unique perspectives become more powerful. Networking isn’t just about connecting with like-minded peers – its impact can be instrumental in helping mines share ideas and prepare for the future as we reimagine the industry.
Staying on the cutting edge has always been key to success in the mining industry — but that’s especially true now, with predictive maintenance, synthetic lubricants, automation, and AI expanding and redefining our relationship with our equipment and the mines themselves. These technological shifts present new opportunities, supported by real-world examples and practical insights, and offer actionable strategies to help optimize performance, reduce downtime, and enhance profitability.
Extending your operation’s oil drain intervals (ODIs) has a positive impact on nearly every facet of your operation — from efficiency to safety to profitability. A clear four-step process can help safely extend uptime through well-structured extension trials, leading to optimized maintenance practices and delivering significant benefits for your operation and your team.
Looking for ways to reach your carbon abatement goals? Hydrogen fuel-switching offers promising potential to help reduce fuel combustion emissions. From understanding the impacts on existing equipment to identifying specific use cases, hydrogen is emerging as a robust alternative fuel source — with insights that can support informed decisions on integrating it into your operation.
What does the future of mining look like – and how can our industry tackle today’s most pressing challenges like helping to reduce emissions and accelerating the energy transition? Carl Fortin, Global Business Manager of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage at Exxon Mobil shared his perspective at the latest Mining into the Future event. In case you missed it, here are three key takeaways:
- Carbon capture solutions could be a key technology to help reduce emissions
- Policy is key in how the industry can scale carbon capture and storage
- Multiple decarbonization solutions are needed to achieve Net Zero
