11:10 Case Study: Turning Rod Packing from a Top Emitter into a Managed Asset: Driving Measurable Methane Reduction & Reliability Gains

Rod packing has emerged as a disproportionately large and often under-addressed source of methane emissions across midstream operations, accounting for a significant share of total site emissions at Boardwalk Pipeline Partners. In this session, Andrew will share how his team has built a cross-functional, data-led programme to move beyond reactive maintenance, aligning operations, reliability, and environmental teams to systematically reduce emissions while improving asset performance and preparing for evolving regulatory requirements.

• Establish a standardised approach to rod packing management by proactively aligning operations with emerging regulatory thresholds and repair timelines

• Diagnose true emission drivers by combining field data, runtime tracking, and cross-team insights to distinguish between packing failures and underlying equipment issues

• Refine maintenance strategies using performance data to shift from fixed intervals to predictive, condition-based interventions that reduce unnecessary spend

• Capture operational and commercial value through targeted solutions—including improved materials, system redesigns, and gas reinjection—minimising methane loss while enhancing reliability and uptime

Main Conference Day 2: Thursday, June 4, 2026

10:30 Panel: Cutting Through the Noise: Selecting the Right Detection Technology for Midstream Operations in a Crowded Market

With vast pipeline networks and assets ranging from gathering systems to large compressor stations, midstream operators face a complex challenge in methane detection. The surge of available technologies offers unprecedented capability, but also greater complexity in choosing what truly works. This session explores how operators are comparing performance, validating vendor claims, and designing monitoring programs that deliver reliable, actionable data.

Compare the performance and limitations of detection technologies across diverse midstream environments
Learn how to design “fit-for-purpose” monitoring portfolios for gathering, transmission, and storage assets
Explore approaches for validating vendor claims through field pilots and structured performance evaluation
Understand how to align technology choices with maintenance, reporting, and compliance requirements
