The British Pipeline Agency (BPA) has joined the Engineering Equipment and Materials Users Association (EEMUA) as a corporate member.
The BPA is owned jointly by BP and Shell and operates a range of onshore fuel transport and storage facilities, mainly in the UK, including more than 1,000 km of fuel pipelines, and associated pumping stations, bulk storage tank-sites and road/rail terminal facilities. The BPA also provides operational and engineering consultancy services to the onshore oil and gas pipeline sector worldwide to develop such facilities.
EEMUA and the BPA have similar objectives relating to safety, the environment and operating performance of high hazard industrial assets and BPA’s involvement in EEMUA is expected to generate mutual benefits.
