Overview

A major utility operator in Georgia operates more than 30,000 miles of regulated natural gas pipeline and needed a structured approach for methane reduction during maintenance and isolation work. Paxon supported the utility with a multi-year program that improved recovery, strengthened asset data, and aligned reporting with EPA requirements.

The utility faced inconsistent recovery practices, limited emissions data, and gaps in compliance documentation. This complicated methane calculations, slowed reporting, and increased risk during isolation events.

Paxon provided engineering support and field oversight, and introduced standardized recovery methods and real-time compliance data. Safer isolation and better depressurization planning minimized vented gas, reduced crew exposure, and mitigated emissions.

Paxon also delivered EPA-aligned reporting, that helped consolidate recovery data for audit readiness. The utility gained a repeatable methane-management approach that improved accuracy, reduced emissions, and strengthened asset documentation.
