As part of the 2023 GPA Midstream Convention in San Antonio, Texas, we will be hosting an informational session on the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration’s new rule for onshore gas gathering lines. The session, which will be held on September 18, 2023, from 4:00p.m. to 5:00 p.m. central time, will include a detailed discussion of the requirements for newly regulated Type C gathering lines. The session will also cover requirements that apply to reporting-only Type R gathering lines, as well other key provisions in the new rules, including the process for obtaining authorization to use composite pipe material in Type C lines. Keith Coyle, a former PHMSA Attorney Advisor who advised GPA Midstream during the rulemaking process and is representing GPA Midstream in litigation before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, will lead the session. GPA Midstream encourages all affected stakeholders to attend this important informational session and learn more about PHMSA’s new rules for onshore gas gathering lines.
Rockin’ Your Personal Brand aims to empower attendees with the tools to craft a standout personal brand. Through the workshop, common branding missteps and their solutions will be highlighted, giving participants a unique opportunity to implement their learnings on the spot. The event, a collaboration between Targa Resources, Compass and INNIO's Waukesha Engine, promises a blend of knowledge and hands-on experience.

Our course will be customized for operators, engineers, or managers, whether designing, operating, or servicing the industry! Our technical training course is founded on transferring our knowledge in the most realistic, practical, and effective manner possible. We will present Midstream Facilities Optimization Guidelines (GPA Midstream Technical Report), inlet feed separation and condensate stabilization, amine treating, dehydration with glycols, contaminants removal by adsorption, cryogenic gas processing, natural gas dewpoint controlling, and NGL fractionation subjects. Attendees will also obtain practical information to help reduce operating costs, maintenance costs, and how to improve system performance.
