The Art of Reducing Emissions. How Much is Enough?
The natural gas industry is facing greater pressure than ever to reduce emissions and adopt more
sustainable operating practices. Innovative emissions mitigation technologies have emerged, and more
are expected, but prevailing sentiment, social pressures and aggressive regulatory policies make keeping
up with external influences even more challenging.
This course focuses on the lessons in four defining white papers released in recent years:
• Blowdown Emission Reduction White Paper, AGA, 2020
• Best Purging Practices for Minimizing Methane Emissions, GTI Energy, 2023
• Managing Methane Emissions from Integrity & Maintenance Work on Natural Gas Transmission &
Storage Assets, INGAA, 2023
• Pipeline Blowdown Emissions and Mitigation Options, MJB&A, 2016
Attendees will explore the latest technologies and strategies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas
emissions associated with natural gas purging operations and will learn how to effectively communicate
emissions reduction goals and initiatives to stakeholders.
Jay has worked in oil and gas for over 20 years in various capacities from upstream to downstream, from engineering to HSE. He currently holds a master's degree in mechanical engineering and is experienced in operations, engineering and health, safety and environmental management. His primary vocation is aiding risk profile management through the implementation of effective HSE programs based on intense operations understandings, which foster positive safety culture.
In this course, you will learn:
• About the activities associated with natural gas purging operations.
• How new technologies are reducing purge-related emissions.
• Why engaging with stakeholders and talking about emissions reductions initiatives is so important.
• Why collaboration and transparency are vital to driving meaningful change within
organizations and contribute to a more sustainable energy future
