Information and Learning
Participants in The Environmental Partnership have committed to continuous learning about the latest industry innovations and best practices that can further reduce their own environmental footprint while safely and responsibly growing energy production.
One benefit to participating in The Environmental Partnership is access to our industry workshops. These workshops bring together large and small companies, and provide an opportunity to share information and discuss best practices.
The Environmental Partnership Permian Workshop 2022
In the Fall of 2022, The Environmental Partnership held a workshop, hosted by Chevron, in Midland, Texas. The event provided Permian operators with an opportunity to learn more about evolving technologies for emissions detection and mitigation – from continuous monitoring to aerial surveying – as well as a discussion about the projects within The Partnership, including an overview of the compressor study underway in collaboration with Colorado State University (CSU).
The Environmental Partnership Bakken Workshop 2022
In July 2022, The Partnership returned to North Dakota, bringing Bakken operators together to tackle shared challenges and learn about best practices through open dialogue with their industry peers.

The workshop included presentations from Blue Racer Midstream, DCP Midstream, ExxonMobil, Devon, and Ovintiv. These presentations covered emerging technologies for emissions detection and mitigation including everything from aerial surveying to pipeline blowdown technologies to tank vapor control designs. The day concluded with a presentation on the best practices for proper flare combustion and how to minimize compressor emissions.
