Report | Beyond Compliance: Building Future-Ready Methane Programs Through Reliability & Operational Excellence | Featuring Exclusive Southern Star Case Study

Methane management is no longer solely an environmental or compliance challenge. As operators face increasing pressure to reduce emissions while maintaining reliability, safety, and operational performance, many are recognizing that methane reduction and asset reliability are intrinsically linked. Equipment failures, maintenance backlogs, compressor issues, venting events, and unplanned shutdowns can all contribute to methane emissions while simultaneously impacting operational efficiency and uptime.

In this exclusive report & case study featuring Charles Crews, EVP & COO of Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, discover how one operator is embedding methane management into reliability programs, maintenance planning, and operational decision-making. Drawing on Southern Star's methane reduction journey, Rhoades shares practical insights into how stronger asset management, predictive maintenance, operational discipline, and workforce engagement can help operators deliver sustainable emissions reductions while improving overall asset performance.
