New PHMSA Regulations add More Than 400,000 Miles of “Gas Gathering” Pipelines Under Federal Oversight by the US Department of Transportation

Quad O is a set of regulations established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Air Act. It governs the control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane emissions from new, modified, and reconstructed oil and natural gas facilities.

It was first issued in 2012 and primarily targets fugitive emissions and process emissions associated with:

  • Oil and gas production

  • Processing

  • Transmission

  • Storage of natural gas

With new federal regulations on pipelines across the country set in place by PHMSA (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration), thousands of miles of pipe 8” in diameter or larger are being called into an inspection to fit these new guidelines. Pipeline systems need to be reviewed as a whole and as individual pieces, and a logic-based consistent decision process is paramount to comply with federal regulations, to be reclassed, to be divested, or to be abandoned.
