Midstream may sit between upstream and downstream, but the engineering challenges it faces are interrelated, from safety and emissions management to measurement and human capital. 

In this episode of the Hydrocarbon Engineering Podcast, Dave Curtis, Vice President of Technical Services at GPA Midstream, explores the vital role of industry collaboration in developing solutions to some of these challenges.

We explore:

• Technical opportunities to improve performance, reliability and environmental outcomes.
• How to balance emissions compliance with operational efficiency.
• Emerging technologies that will have the greatest impact on the sector.
• The importance of alignment between industry-developed standards and government regulations.

Dave also offers a preview of the upcoming GPA Midstream Convention, which brings together operators, suppliers, engineers, and technical experts from across the industry each year.
