About Center for Midstream Management & Science

The Center for Midstream Management and Science (CMMS) was established in 2019 at Lamar University (est. 1923) in Beaumont, Texas to bridge faculty research capabilities and students to the midstream industry.

CMMS promotes educational programs and outreach intended to introduce students to the midstream sector and funds seed capital for practical research by faculty primarily related to: (i) leak detection and monitoring, (ii) big data, AI applications, and predictive maintenance, (iii) corrosion detection and monitoring, and (iv) resilience and reliability. CMMS also addresses issues facing the midstream sector and seeks to act as a clearing house for midstream technological advances.
