Enhancing midstream’s ability to gather, process, store, and move natural gas, natural gas liquids, and crude oil

For more than a century, the GPA Midstream and GPSA have served as the definitive voice and primary technical resource for the midstream oil and gas sector. Our committee framework has united thousands of industry professionals to develop, publish, and maintain more than 200 proprietary research reports and critical operating standards used globally.

Every piece of technical documentation, industry analysis, and reference guide published by GPA Midstream is authored by or vetted by the industry’s subject matter experts and researchers. This collaboration ensures that our materials, including the globally recognized GPSA Engineering Data Book, reflect the deepest field-tested knowledge available in natural gas gathering, processing, transportation, and storage.

GPA Midstream is recognized by federal and state regulatory bodies — including PHMSA, EPA, and BLM — as a leading authority on pipeline safety, emissions controls, and operational compliance. Our technical committees and workgroups collaborate year-round to ensure the strict scientific and operational accuracy of the information energy companies rely on to make critical infrastructure decisions. We maintain transparency by regularly publishing updates, as well as our work with lawmakers and regulatory agencies.
