To gain intelligent insights and predict future emissions, it's essential to have a standardized, formatted, and centralized data foundation. In this session, Jason will explain how he transformed Western Midstream’s emissions data management, focusing on efficiency and error reduction: 

• Building tools to support the gathering and assimilation of operational and activity data into a single source which satisfies reporting requirements 
• Adopting a systematic approach to convert instantaneous data into an accumulated rate for emissions calculation 
• Overcoming challenges in data quality, formatting, and large-scale calculations due to proper data historization and unforeseen real-world scenarios 
• Reviewing the next steps for Western Midstream’s emissions reduction strategy, including how to build AI tools that enable data driven decision-making
