Midstream Program

The Midstream Subcommittee deals with electrical questions involved with transportation and storage of petroleum and chemical materials. This includes controls, measurement, data handling, power systems, motors and drives associated with pipelines, tankage, valves and conveyors. Because many of the sites are remote or in sensitive locations, there are often interesting technical challenges to face.

The Midstream Technical Subcommittee officers are:​

• Manish Verma - Chair
• Jeff Gaspar - Vice Chair
• Dane Martindale - Secretary
