GPA Midstream Association

Last month, GPA Midstream sent Emma Bickel and Stuart Saulters to the YPP USA 2026 Symposium in The Woodlands, Texas.

According to YPP USA, this year's event was the biggest Symposium in their history, anchored by a fantastic lineup of speakers.

Day 1 was structured around three technical tracks (Operational Excellence, Integrity, and Leadership) so attendees could dig deep into the areas that matter most to them.

Day 2 opened things up with the professional development and industry conversations that make the Symposium worth the trip every year.

We're grateful to have been invited, and proud to support an organization whose mission aligns so closely with our own. Building the next generation of midstream professionals is something we think about every day.

5 days to go. Registration for the 2026 GPA Midstream Convention opens June 15.

Join us Sept. 20-23 in San Antonio for the midstream industry’s premier annual event, where professionals from across the industry come together for networking, knowledge sharing, and big-picture conversations shaping the future of energy.

Make plans now to be part of the conversations, connections, and opportunities that define Convention each year.

Last month, GPA Midstream's Emma Bickel attended the HGPA May Membership & Scholarship Recipient Luncheon at The Houston Club, and the highlights are too good not to share.

Emma came away energized by just how much the Houston GPA Midstream Chapter has accomplished. Their 2026 clay shoot broke their scholarship fundraising record, and they awarded $25,000 in scholarships to an impressive group of recipients who were able to celebrate the milestone in person.

Congratulations to Jason Upton on being elected as the new HGPA Chair, and a sincere thank you to Johnathan Fowler for a wonderful term! We wish him well as he transitions into the role of Past Chair.

Emma's takeaway? Get involved. The impact local GPA Midstream chapters have on the communities they serve is something every member of our industry should rally behind. Find your local chapter and get engaged!
