11:30 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
