Midstream infrastructure is the vital link that keeps energy flowing across the U.S., but managing these networks is becoming more complex by the day. From aging pipelines to increased regulatory scrutiny, midstream operations and maintenance (O&M) teams face enormous pressure to maintain uptime, mitigate risk, and meet environmental and safety standards. That’s where Percheron comes in.
At Percheron, we believe smarter midstream O&M starts with a smarter strategy—one that brings together engineering expertise, land access coordination, and regulatory insight. With decades of experience across the energy lifecycle, we understand that effective O&M isn’t just about fixing problems when they arise—it’s about preventing them in the first place.
Integrity First: Proactive Pipeline Management
Aging infrastructure presents one of the biggest challenges to midstream operators today. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, a large portion of the nation’s pipeline system was built before 1970. That means corrosion, fatigue, and environmental exposure are daily realities.
Percheron helps clients get ahead of these issues through comprehensive integrity management programs. We integrate geospatial data, historical inspection records, and real-time asset monitoring to prioritize maintenance activities where they matter most. Our teams can quickly mobilize to provide right-of-way (ROW) access, permitting, and field support for repairs, upgrades, and inspections.
ROW Coordination & Access Solutions
When it comes to accessing and maintaining critical infrastructure, right-of-way access can be a major bottleneck. Our land professionals work directly with landowners, regulatory bodies, and internal project teams to ensure seamless access to ROWs while minimizing delays and disruptions. We handle title review, permit acquisition, damage settlements, and stakeholder communication with efficiency and professionalism.
By managing the land side of the equation alongside engineering and project management, Percheron ensures that O&M crews can get on-site quickly, do their job safely, and avoid costly downtime.
Safety, Compliance, and Environmental Stewardship
Midstream O&M isn’t just about keeping the product flowing—it’s about doing so safely and responsibly. Percheron helps clients maintain compliance with federal and state regulations, including PHMSA guidelines, environmental protection standards, and local permitting requirements.
We take a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating risk, helping clients avoid penalties and public trust issues. Whether it’s updating erosion controls or managing vegetation near pipelines, our team understands how to keep projects aligned with environmental goals.
The Percheron Advantage
What sets Percheron apart in the O&M space is our ability to integrate multiple services under one roof. Our teams collaborate across land, engineering, environmental, and project management to deliver a seamless experience for our clients.
If you're looking to streamline your midstream O&M program, reduce risk, and extend the lifespan of your assets, Percheron should be your first call. We bring the knowledge, the tools, and the relationships to keep your operations running efficiently—no matter the size or scope.
