GPA Midstream’s GHG Measurement & Abatement Committee is responsible for all technical matters concerning the measurement, quantification, and abatement of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and associated environmental impacts that originate from midstream facilities. This group maintains a continuous study of GHG emissions measurement best practices and conducts research on the application of specific GHG emission measurement technology as applied to various environmental, geographic and production facility settings with the goal to optimize emissions characterization across a broad range of environmental conditions. This committee meets 2 times per year, most commonly in April and September. View the GHG Measurement & Abatement Committee Charter.
