Pipeline Construction

Versiv’s Sustainability and Innovation Leader Nick Pero recently authored an article titled “Reservation For… Operationalizing ESG” for the Southern Gas Association’s The Link Quarterly Newsletter.

The Versiv team attended the American Public Gas Association Conference (APGA) in Savannah, Georgia, October 11-13, 2022. The event brought together natural gas operations leaders from public utilities across the country.

Last week, the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, was faced with a massive influx of 911 calls due to a lingering gas smell permeating a residential area. Luckily, there was no gas leak; however, people all over the city were in a panic calling emergency responders. While the issue was quickly resolved and everyone was safe, the breaking news story was a great reminder of how alarming and disruptive the smell of natural gas can be to communities.

Versiv Solutions was recently invited to join Energy Worldnet (EWN)’s popular energy industry podcast, Coffee with Jim and James. Two members of the Versiv leadership team joined the dynamic hosting duo to discuss the innovative solutions that Versiv offers to the natural gas and energy industry.

Operators Can Now More Seamlessly Access Compatible Services that Reduce Methane Emissions on Natural Gas Pipeline Projects

Greenville Utilities recently affirmed their commitment to the protection of the environment by partnering with Versiv Solutions to include cross compression on the Memorial Drive Bridge project, demonstrating that municipal utilities can have significant impact in reducing methane emissions.

Cross compression captures methane during maintenance for Dominion Energy and Columbia Gas of Virginia at Bear Garden Power Plant.

With the deadline from the PIPES Act of 2020 quickly approaching on December 27, 2021, many pipeline operators are in the process of updating their inspection and maintenance plans or operations and maintenance manuals to meet the requirements. Operators must have a plan in place to reduce the release of methane during normal operations, including voluntary venting. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you develop plans to reduce emissions!

This year’s American Gas Association’s (AGA) Operations Conference provided an ideal opportunity for Versiv Solutions to introduce themselves and their innovative cross compression service to industry leaders.
