"The ISA meeting for LDAR professions is my annual must attend event. It helps to keep an LDAR coordinator current on the changes in the regulations, and focus items. It provides strategies to allow an LDAR program to work for you rather than you working for it." Frankie Wood-Black, Trihydro Corporation |

Training Courses—maximize your continuing education!
Take advantage of combining your LDAR technical conference with an expert-led LDAR training course.
This year we are offering two one-day training courses:
Audit-Proofing Your LDAR Program (SP09PC) |
Implementation and Maintenance of LDAR Programs for Oil and Gas Sites (SP12PC) |
|
Instructor: Donald (Deever) Bradley, III, P.E. This course will review LDAR compliance obligations under state, federal, and Consent Decree LDAR requirements. Attendees will learn advanced compliance strategies and best management practices compiled from over 100 industry facilities. Frequently asked questions on LDAR compliance issues from calibration to delays of repair will be addressed. The course also includes a review of common and uncommon LDAR audit findings and compliance “blind spots” to be addressed.
|
Instructor: Frankie Wood-Black The regulatory world for upstream and midstream oil and natural gas operations is rapidly changing. Many of these sites are now receiving more scrutiny from regulatory agencies, particularly for their leak detection and repair (LDAR) programs. This seminar is designed for the LDAR coordinator or individual responsible for the implementation and maintenance of the LDAR program at an upstream and/or midstream oil and natural gas site. The focus will be on definition of fundamental regulations, practical implementation strategies and quality assurance/control programs, in order to appropriately comply with federal/state regulations. |
