The GPA Midstream Association, with affiliated GPSA Midstream Suppliers, announced award recipients for the midstream industry's outstanding 2021 safety performances on June 15.

Companies submitted 2021 safety statistics for nearly 70 million workhours specific to midstream operations, including natural gas gathering, compression, treating, processing, marketing and storage and NGL fractionation, transportation, storage and marketing, a GPA Midstream press release stated.

Founded in 1921, GPA Midstream represents corporate members globally, with the mission to responsibly serve and represent the midstream energy industry with "collaborative expertise, safety and advocacy."

“People – our employees, families and neighbors that live and work in the communities in which we operate – are the foundation behind the midstream industry’s steadfast commitment to safety in all that we do,” GPA Midstream president and CEO and GPSA CEO Joel Moxley said in the release.

"Both associations are dedicated to ongoing safety improvement through transparency in reporting and by building upon member companies’ exceptional safety programs and performance history. It's an honor to recognize these award recipients who lead by example.”

The four GPA Midstream award divisions are determined by workhours, ranging from less than 50,000 to more than one million, for both U.S. and international companies. The top two entries in each division are selected according to lowest total cases incidence rate, lowest fatalities plus lost workdays incidence rate and highest number of operational workhours reported.

The Division I winners (1 million or more midstream operational workhours) were Boardwalk Louisiana Midstream and runner-up Enterprise Products in the U.S. and Bahrain National Gas Co. and runner-up Saudi Aramco internationally.

The Division II winners (200,000-999,999 midstream operational workhours) were Phillips 66 and runner-up Cameron LNG in the U.S. and Phoenix Park Gas Processors Ltd. internationally.
