Why Small/Mid-Sized Operators Should Attend

---

For independent operators, facility decisions aren’t made in distant offices or long budget cycles—they’re made on short timelines, with limited capital, by teams that wear multiple hats. And when you’re managing late-life assets, planning upgrades, or troubleshooting water, emissions, or flow constraints, the pressure to get those decisions right is real.

We’ve built this event with that in mind.

This is a practical, execution-focused forum where small and mid-sized operators can access the tools, playbooks, and examples they need to solve for reliability, compliance, and adaptability—without overspending or overbuilding.

We’ve intentionally included a mix of large operators sharing scalable frameworks, and independent peers sharing what they’ve done with limited resources.

From smart water handling retrofits and field-deployable emissions kits, to how one operator kept a late-life facility running with only two techs and a remote-monitoring workaround—these are the kinds of examples small operators can act on.

• Low-cost modular options for water treatment, clean compression, and reliable emissions measurement, metering and monitoring 
• Field-tested approaches to operate safely with fewer people on-site
• Decision tools for when to maintain, when to replace, and when to let equipment run to failure
• Templates for working around SWD limitations, power gaps, or flare caps without major rework
• Operator-led examples of small teams extending asset life by 2–5 years through targeted upgrades

 The event is structured to give you ready-to-use insights and action points:

• Checklists, diagnostics, and rule-of-thumb sizing logic
• Examples of phased upgrades that actually worked in the field
• What not to do—shared openly by peers who’ve already paid for the mistakes

You’ll leave with decision frameworks, modular layouts, emissions playbooks, and upgrade logic that you can apply immediately, whether you operate five sites or fifty.

• Need to make every facility dollar count
• Can’t afford downtime or unforced errors
• Want to learn what’s working for the big players—but also hear from operators who look like them
• Want to leave with clarity—not just contacts
