Gathering Lines Solutions
The safety of Gas Gathering Pipelines Final Rule issued in November of 2021 expanded the reporting and regulatory requirements for gas gathering pipelines including lines that may not have been subjected to federal regulations previously. In some cases, existing facilities records may need to be verified and operation and maintenance practices may need to be improved. We have a number of technical services to assist gathering pipeline operators in meeting these new regulations.
