Methane emissions have become a critical boardroom issue for midstream companies. This year, we’re elevating our lineup with strategic-level speakers, including COOs, Heads of Pipeline Operations, and Senior VPs of Regulatory Affairs, to provide high-level insights and underscore the significance of these regulatory changes.

Our speaker lineup will feature senior leaders from all facets of the midstream sector, including:

• Chief Technology Officers
• Heads of Regulation
• VPs Of Pipeline Operations & Safety 
• Heads Of Midstream Facilities - Gas Processing & Compressor Stations 
• Vice Presidents of Engineering
• Heads of Pipeline Integrity
• Senior Environmental VPs
• Computational experts specializing in data visualization, security, compliance, process analysis, and AI modeling

In response to expanding methane emission regulations, we are significantly broadening the scope.  Traditionally focused on core pipeline network operations, this year’s agenda will address all midstream facilities at risk from methane leaks and bursts. Including compressor stations, pumping units and gas processing/storage. We will cover today's risks and a strategic focus on future pipeline integrity and leak prevention/detection solutions for hydrogen, ammonia, and carbon transport pipes on Day Two.

We are bringing top-tier perspectives from the heads of compressor stations, pump stations, and gas processing plants to discuss safeguarding assets under new regulations. Facilities processing NGLs into individual products, such as fractionation plants, will share their strategies for controlling emissions from distillation processes and managing potential leaks. Storage facilities, including above-ground tanks, will discuss compliance with VOC leak detection and vapor recovery systems.

Recognizing the relevance of gathering systems operated by midstream companies, we are incorporating high-level perspectives from these segments into our agenda. Metering and regulating stations will also be featured, emphasizing the need for precise emission measurement and control across the sector.

We will cover all major basins and routes in the USA and many in Canada, including:

• Bakken Formation routes in North Dakota, Montana, and Nebraska
• Permian Basin operations from West Texas to the Texas Gulf Coast
• Pipelines from Texas through the southern states to the northeastern US
• Marcellus and Utica Shales in Ohio and Pennsylvania
• Routes through West Virginia and North Carolina
• And much more!

This year's event will not only feature insights from middle management on leak detection but will also adopt a broader, more strategic focus. We include influential technical decision-makers and those responsible for managing emissions in midstream facilities, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and solutions.

Our extended research campaign has garnered positive responses, and we are excited to expand this event. We look forward to your participation in March 2025, where we will delve into the critical issues and innovations shaping the future of methane emissions management in the midstream sector.
