Gas Operations & Engineering Safety Considerations

The American Gas Association’s Gas Engineering and Operation Practices (GEOP) series is an eleven-part series of texts addressing various technical aspects of natural gas supply, transmission, distribution, measurement, utilization, and other technical services subjects. These documents are subject to periodic updates that reflect recent developments in knowledge, technologies, and practices related to the operations of natural gas utilities. This document constitutes the latest revisions to “Chapter 3 – Gas Operations and Engineering Safety Practices” and is the culmination of a year-long effort by AGA’s Operations and Engineering Section’s Safety & Occupational Health Committee to revise and update this GEOP chapter with current information regarding technology and industry practices. This document improves and expands upon the contents of the previous GEOP publication and supersedes all prior versions.
