This panel will convene key industry associations and operator voices to deliver clear, actionable compliance strategies and elucidate the operational ramifications of current regulations from the EPA, BLM, and PHMSA. The panellists will:

• Identify the operational and compliance requirements of current regulations
• Discuss technological advancements and operational implications to meet the new regulatory standards
• Streamline processes for incorporating advanced technology into regulatory requirements
• Address areas of contention in relation to incorporating company-specific, advanced technology measurements into GHGRP Subpart W
• Financial risks and opportunities: assessing the costs of implementation, potential revenue streams from emissions reduction and market shifts
• Staying competitive while ensuring compliance
• Navigate the lack of compatibility between EU and US regulation

Natural gas is the largest source of primary energy production in the United States and is expected to play a crucial role in energy security and an important role in economic security through 2050 under all EIA scenarios. With this in mind, it is imperative to adopt comprehensive strategies for managing emissions across the entire natural gas value chain to mitigate methane. Join our expert panellists as they:

• Give insights into the diverse sources and complexities of emissions
• Explore advanced materials for reducing the likelihood of leaks from legacy pipeline systems
• Prioritize characterization of methane emissions from each element in the gas production, processing, and transport chain, including evaluation of specific components such as pipelines, valves, pneumatic controllers, compressors, and storage tanks
• Champion strong communication and collaboration across the value chain to gain a clear oversight of emissions and promote sustainability
