Name: Energy Management Workshop for Upstream and Midstream Operations
Sector: Oil and Gas
Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Event Details: In an era of increasing natural gas demand and sustained high prices, natural gas projects
that enhance process efficiency, reduce methane losses and, ultimately, lower costs and add
to sales revenues are becoming more attractive. This workshop provided industry and other
interested parties with an opportunity to obtain information about cost-effective process
optimization and methane emissions reduction technologies and practices. Participants
engaged in a peer-based exchange of technical and economic information on practices
currently in use today. For more information, see below.
Hosted By: Petroleum Technology Alliance Canada (PTAC),
CETAC-WEST, Environment Canada, and the U.S. EPA
