As GPSA board president, I clearly see the value in the GPA Midstream Association and our annual convention. The best registration value is to be a GPA / GPSA member and to register by July 19th, as it is approximately a 50% discount over registering on-site as a non-member. GPA's cancellation policy is very flexible, as full base registration refunds can be issued if requested before 8/30 or transferred at no cost to a colleague with a written request. Why wait? Also, when making travel plans, keep in mind that GPA has presentations on Wednesday morning, including one at 10:30a entitled "Power Struggle - How the Electrification of Our Industry is Affecting Projects and What Options Exist to Meet Desired Timelines" presented by yours truly, so hold off on your return travel until Wednesday afternoon if you want to see some knowledge get dropped.

GPA Midstream Safety Moments As part of GPA Midstream’s ongoing focus on safety, we are proud to feature EnLink Midstream and their unwavering commitment to safety. A Safety Moment from EnLink: "EnLink operates with a GoalZERO mindset, always striving for zero injuries, zero vehicle accidents, zero line strikes, zero fires, and zero spills. One of the most successful tools within the EnLink GoalZERO program is the “Take 2, Ask 3” initiative, which employees and contractors have adopted as a regular first step to getting any job done. Teams start every job by taking just two minutes to ask three important safety questions: What can go wrong? What precautions should I take? Can I do this job safely?   This focuses employees on the task at hand and mitigates potential risks. EnLink encourages YOU to ‘Take 2, Ask 3’ before starting projects at work or home."

🎙️ Episode 17 — Midstream Education and Awareness with former director of Lamar University’s Center for Midstream Management & Science Thomas Kalb   This week, hosts Adam Murray, MBA and Andrew Parker, PhD sit down with Thomas Kalb, a veteran oil and gas investor and founding director of Lamar University’s Center for Midstream Management & Science.
