Why Multiple Sessions Are Also Highly Relevant For Midstream Measurement Leaders

 Midstream operators are increasingly impacted by upstream measurement decisions.

Commingling logic, meter hierarchy design, estimation choices, and method changes made upstream often do not stay upstream.

They travel through custody transfer, imbalance management, emissions reporting, and sometimes, unfortunately, into disputes.

This event focuses on how those decisions are made, documented, governed, and defended.

Participate In Discussion With Upstream Operators On 

· Design and change of measurement methods

· Handling estimation periods and data gaps

· Documenting assumptions and logic

· Managing audit trails and change governance relevant to gathering and midstream agreements 

Many sessions explore how measurement data is:

· Traced back to physical reality

· Reconciled across systems

· Defended under audit and regulatory scrutiny

For midstream operators, this is directly relevant to:

· Custody transfer confidence

· Imbalance resolution

· Shipper and partner disputes

· Regulatory and legal exposure

Different trigger — same evidence problem.

Consider attending if you work in midstream and are responsible for:

· Measurement engineering, integrity, or custody-transfer confidence

· Reconciling volumes, composition, or quality across multiple upstream sources

· Managing imbalances, disputes, or shipper challenges

· Supporting audits, regulator queries, or legal reviews

· Accepting upstream emissions or water data that you are later asked to defend

· Understanding how upstream measurement methods, assumptions, and changes impact your 

  systems downstream

If your role sits at the interface between upstream decisions and midstream accountability, much of the content will be directly relevant. In addition, approximately one-third of our research conversations for the design of this conference were with midstream operators.
