NYSEARCH was pleased to host its Quarterly R&D Meeting on June 10-11 in the Greater Boston area. The multi-day event brought together members and partners to collaborate on advancing research and innovation for the natural gas industry.

The agenda featured comprehensive updates on ongoing NYSEARCH initiatives, along with a collaborative brainstorming session designed to shape future R&D priorities. The open exchange of ideas and the collective expertise of attendees underscored NYSEARCH’s role as a catalyst for innovation across the sector. Two research initiatives were presented to the NYSEARCH committee for consideration. One proposal outlined the continuation of microbial Power-to-Gas bioreactor development, and a second proposal focused on optimizing leak pinpointing success by developing best practices around bar-holing procedures.

A highlight of the week was a visit to Bascom-Turner Instruments, Inc. in Pembroke, MA. Participants were given an in-depth factory tour, gaining insight into the meticulous processes behind their natural gas instrumentation manufacturing and testing. NYSEARCH thanks the Bascom-Turner team for their warm hospitality and transparency.
