AGA Operations Conference May 19 – 21, 2009

Meet us at the 2009 AGA Operations Conference and Biennial Exhibition at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA. The Operations Conference is AGA’s largest forum with nearly 500 operations management in attendance, including 80 speakers, and over 100 technical presentations that run the gamut of topics, such as gas measurement, operations advocacy, safety, environment, storage, engineering, construction and maintenance, gas control, supplemental gas, corrosion control and plastic materials.

RCP representatives will be attending the conference and look forward to meeting you. If you plan on attending, mark your calendar for Thursday, May 21, to attend the Distribution & Transmission Engineering Session 23. RCP’s representative, Larry Decker, will be speaking on calculating Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP) for changing pipeline conditions. This presentation will present important things learned from calculating MAOP. These include: what the regulations require for MAOP analysis, what the critical/non-critical data are to justify current MAOP, the MAOP formula decision tree and best practices for maintaining MAOP data.
