In Fall 2022, TEP collaborated with long standing partner, Colorado State University (CSU), on a study in the Bakken and Permian Basins to validate and better understand the emission sources of methane from compressors and their drivers.

As a follow up to this study, last May, The Partnership held a Compressor Engine Roundtable in Houston, Texas, to discuss study findings and brainstorm step change-type solutions to reduce emissions from compressors.

The event was attended by more than 70 people and provided the opportunity for both operators and engine manufacturers, including Caterpillar and Waukesha, to explore solutions together.
