Subsidiary of Kinder Morgan Inc and Southwestern Energy Company Announce Agreement
Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP), which is a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan Inc, and Southwestern Energy Company, have announced the initiation of a responsibly sourced natural gas (RSG) strategic agreement.
The goal of the agreement is to further reduce methane emissions across the natural gas value chain by receiving and transporting RSG to market and, in this case, specifically to a market in the Northeast.
RSG is natural gas that has been produced from a natural gas well and transported by companies whose operations have been independently verified as meeting certain environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards, particularly related to methane emission reductions.
RSG goes through a rigorous verification process to certify that it meets or exceeds the standards established by the ONE Future coalition, which are designed to achieve a 1 percent or lower methane intensity level, or 99 percent methane efficiency, by 2025.
With this agreement, Project Canary will apply its TrustWellTM certification process and continuous emissions monitoring devices to SWN production sites in the Appalachian Basin, ensuring a methane intensity rate of 0.28 percent or lower, per ONE Future upstream targets (production, compression and gathering).
SWN achieved an intensity rate of 0.055 percent in 2019, according to its annual Corporate Responsibility report, and is pursuing further emission reductions through various initiatives.
The KMI transportation network, including TGP, has significantly beat its 0.31 percent ONE Future transmission target with a rate of only 0.03 percent in 2019, as published in the company’s latest ESG report. As part of the agreement, SWN will produce and TGP will transport the RSG on its existing pipeline infrastructure to benefit a large market in the Northeast where the distribution of the RSG is expected to power the equivalent of approximately 100,000 homes annually while reducing GHG emissions equal to the removal of approximately 5,000 internal combustion engine vehicles from the road. The market will begin experiencing the benefits of RSG November 1, 2021.

This comprehensive and broad course is aimed at engineers, inspectors, regulators, administrators, and managers responsible for storage tank facilities who wish to improve their overall knowledge and understanding of these facilities in the petroleum, chemical, aviation and paper and pulp industries. More importantly, this course offers an excellent opportunity to network with others in the same situation and ask questions and consult with experts. The course has recently been expanded into two major sections each occurring on different days.
Complete overview of various kinds of “tanks” used aboveground and underground in both vertical and horizontal configurations. We cover the fundamentals for the design, construction, operation, maintenance, and inspection of petroleum terminal and tank facilities. We discuss the different kinds of designs, best practices and the general considerations associated with storage tanks including the hazards of petroleum storage. Also addressed is the knowledge you need to know about keeping tank personnel safe.
Tanks 101 will also provide an overview of all the important tanks standards such as API 2610, API 2350, API 653. It will mention API 650 and API 620 but these will be covered in more detail in the Afternoon Segment. In order to provide sufficient background to prepare for Tanks 102, we provide the basic principles of floating roofs, foundations, fixed roofs, when and how to use of release prevention barriers, hydrostatic tests, materials of construction, and many other issues associated with existing tanks.
Having designed and built a good tank the next problem is to ensure it remains safe and leak free. The focus is on the well-known tank inspection standard, API 653. The rules of API 653 will be covered and the contents of API 653, and API 575 will be explained in detail as time permits. We cover some of the various damage mechanisms such as brittle fracture, excess internal and external pressure, settlement, repairs and more.
