GPA Midstream Association

Somewhere in a gas plant right now, someone is reading a number they don't quite trust.

For 51 years, the GPA Midstream School of Gas Chromatography has been the place where that doubt gets replaced with certainty. The 51st annual school runs July 20-24 in Arlington, Texas, providing five hands-on days covering GC fundamentals to get accurate, reproducible results.

Registration rates increase after June 19. That's 14 days away.
Members: $1,025 now / $1,500 after.
Non-members: $1,500 now / $2,050 after.

What's the most expensive GC mistake you've ever heard of?

Wednesday was another busy day at our Board & Committee Meetings in Fort Worth, Texas.

The GPA Midstream Board held an in-depth discussion on the strategic issues shaping midstream and how GPA Midstream can help members address them.

Our Process Safety Subcommittee and Personal and Process Safety Committee met (on Thursday morning, as well), continuing their important work to deliver safe operations and protect employees, communities, and the environment.

We're looking forward to sharing more of the industry's safety stories as we head into June, which is Safety Month! Stay tuned.

The grid can't always keep up with the energy demands of hyperscale data centers and AI infrastructure.

That's not a new problem. But the solution might surprise people.

Former GPSA President Jeff Stake makes the case that midstream, the industry already built around delivering energy at scale, is the natural leader of large-scale BTM electrification.

We already have the experience, infrastructure, and system-wide visibility to deliver everything from molecules to electrons.

The concept at the center of it: BTU-to-Power (BTP) — a delivery model that lets energy move as fuel or electricity from the same resource.
