| 10/27/26 |  Episode 464: PHMSA Regulatory Update and GPAC/LPAC Process with Brianne Kurdock and Lee Banse | In this episode of the Pipeliners Podcast, Brianne Kurdock and Lee Banse of Babst Calland provide a fall 2026 pipeline safety regulatory update. They explain how PHMSA rulemaking works, including the role of the Gas and Liquid Pipeline Advisory Committees, and review the 13 proposed rules considered at the July 30 joint committee meeting. The conversation also covers the pending repair criteria, LNG, and breakout tank rulemakings and how operators can monitor and participate in the process.

| 10/20/26 |  Episode 463: PHMSA Incident Investigations with Tiffany Ziemer | In this episode of the Pipeliners Podcast, Russel Treat talks with Tiffany Ziemer about how PHMSA approaches pipeline incident investigations. Tiffany is Director of Pipeline Safety and Regulatory Excellence at the SGA Natural Gas Association and a former PHMSA chief investigator. The conversation covers how PHMSA and the NTSB work alongside each other, why investigation reports take time, and how the industry might better learn from past incidents and standardize what it measures. Tiffany also shares her path from military police to federal service and what she plans to build for SGA members.

| 10/13/26 |  Episode 462: NYSEARCH Pipeline R&D with Mark Gunsalus | In this episode, Russel Treat speaks with Mark Gunsalus of NYSEARCH about how a member-driven research consortium moves gas industry technology from raw idea to field deployment. The conversation covers how projects are born, funded, and shared across utilities, highlights several active projects in robotics, plastic pipe inspection, pipe location, and paving, and looks at where AI may realistically fit in utility operations.

| 10/6/26 |  Episode 461: API 1192 - Transportation of CO2 by Pipeline with Mike Cloward | In this episode of the Pipeliners Podcast, Russel Treat welcomes Mike Cloward of ExxonMobil, co-chair of the committee behind API RP 1192, the new recommended practice for the transportation of carbon dioxide by pipeline. The conversation covers why the industry developed the standard, what makes CO2 unique as a pipeline fluid, and how the recommended practice addresses integrity, fracture control, and emergency response. Mike also shares where the standard may go from here and advice for operators new to CO2 service.

| 9/29/26 |  Episode 460: Leak Detection in Compressible Fluids with Jerad Stack | Jerad Stack of Flowstate returns to the Pipeliners Podcast to discuss what changes when computational leak detection moves from liquids to compressible fluids such as natural gas, CO2, and ethylene. Russel Treat and Jerad talk through why changes in line inventory make these systems harder to monitor, how physics and machine learning work together in the models, and what an operator should consider before piloting leak detection on a compressible system.

| 9/22/26 |  Episode 459: Underground Methane Leak Detection with Kathleen Smits | In this episode, Russel Treat talks with Kathleen Smits of Southern Methodist University about how natural gas moves underground after a pipeline leak begins and why that matters for detection, quantification, and repair. The conversation covers how soil moisture, surface conditions, pressure, and gas composition shape what operators measure at the surface. Kathleen also discusses her research on evidence-based guidance for leak management and where that work is headed.

| 9/15/26 |  Episode 458: Why Leak Detection is Now an Integration & Cybersecurity Challenge with Nick Dresang | In this episode of the Pipeliners Podcast, host Russell Treat talks with Nick Dresang, Director of Cybersecurity at Flow State, about how leak detection systems get their data and what that means for pipeline cybersecurity. They cover OT/IT integration across the Purdue Model, cloud deployment options, and the security tradeoffs operators face as more pipeline data moves off premises.
