Event Overview
Pop Quiz: You’re upgrading equipment to reduce emissions to meet “Good Neighbor
Act” requirements. That means you need to retool infrastructure for 142 acres of
compression stations at seven sites across four states – fast. What would you do to
mitigate the risk of subsurface damage? Join GPRS’ Erik Griffin as he shares how
one of the nation’s largest energy suppliers attempted to meet that challenge, the
issues they faced, and the solutions GPRS partnered with them to craft that allowed
for consistent data, expedited timelines, and streamlined communications throughout
the U.S. with zero subsurface damages.
Attendees will receive 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDH) upon approval.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the impact of your current safety and dig policies on consistent data acquisition across a national portfolio.
- Understand how up-to-date underground utility maps and the adoption of Subsurface Investigation Methodology can drive safer results at your facility.
- Understand how comprehensive digital utility & infrastructure maps and deliverables can eliminate unknowns to mitigate risk to enable projects to stay on schedule, on budget, and safe.
- Understand the key benefits of geolocating, layering, and aggregating documents in a digital platform for large portfolio management.
Who Should Attend
- Compression station operators & managers
- Pipeline managers
- Gas & Oil company stakeholders
Meet the Instructor
Erik Griffin
Market Segment Leader – Oil & Gas, GPRS
Erik Griffin has been in the trenches as a Project Manager in the field, which gives him a unique perspective on GPRS’ work in safety and damage prevention. Currently, Griffin serves as the Market Segment Leader for Oil & Gas and has been a member of the GPRS team for five years.
“I grew up blue-collar, working summers during college doing HVAC, dry-walling, and doing other work in schools & facilities. GPRS was my first full-time job, and my work lets me combine hands-on field experience with my education (bachelor’s degree in Finance & Management and a Master in Management), which is what I love about it.”
Griffin and his wife, Julie, have just welcomed a new child into their now family of four. When he isn’t solving problems for upstream, midstream, and downstream oil & gas customers, this two-time All-American collegiate volleyball player can be found either playing or coaching his favorite sport.
