Driving Innovation at the Western Gas Measurement Short Course

The Western Gas Measurement Short Course (WGMSC), a cornerstone event in the natural gas industry, convened this year in Salt Lake City, marking a new milestone with unprecedented attendance and engagement. Under the leadership of Dan MacDonald, manager of gas measurement and regulation, automation engineering, and LNG plant operations at Dominion Energy and president of the WGMSC, the course underscored the company’s pivotal role in shaping the future of gas measurement and control. This event highlighted the latest industry innovations and showcased Dominion Energy’s commitment to ongoing professional development.

"This year's unprecedented participation and the eagerness for innovation underline our dedication to leading the industry."

- Dan MacDonald

Empowering Leaders and Fostering Collaboration

The impact of Dominion Energy was not just evident in the numbers but also in the active participation of its leaders, who are leading the way in industry advancement. MacDonald proudly acknowledged the significant presence of Dominion employees: "This year, we had the highest number of Dominion Energy participants, a testament to our commitment to leading and learning within our sector." The event featured over 130 class offerings, including cutting-edge topics on renewable natural gas (RNG) and hydrogen blending, which garnered significant attention due to their increasing relevance to the industry’s sustainability goals.

Moreover, the contributions of Dominion Energy personnel extended beyond attendance. "We had 40-year veterans and eager young professionals presenting, which facilitated a rich exchange of ideas and inspired all attendees," said Matt Bartol, general manager of western distribution operations at Dominion Energy. His remarks captured the essence of the event as a hub of inspiration and innovation.

MacDonald likened this to "speed dating," which enhances mutual understanding and collaboration. Arthur Bezdjian, a board member and supervisor at Dominion Energy, highlighted the practical applications of the discussions: "The dialogues about RNG and hydrogen blending are not just theoretical; they are about implementing practical solutions that will drive our industry forward."

The event’s reach extended beyond immediate educational sessions to include tours of facilities like the Magna LNG Plant and Training Academy, further demonstrating Dominion Energy’s commitment to comprehensive industry education and practical application of knowledge.

Looking Ahead with Optimism

As the WGMSC continues to evolve, its role in advancing the natural gas industry remains indisputable. "Each year, we build on our legacy of innovation and collaboration to not only meet current industry needs but also anticipate future challenges," MacDonald concluded, reflecting on the event’s success and its implications for the future. Dominion Energy and its employees are well positioned to continue leading in the sector with such robust participation and a proactive approach to industry challenges.
