The aging oil and gas infrastructure are bringing new challenges to those responsible for maintaining effective safe and reliable operations and facilities. As major pipeline systems are approaching the end of their lifecycle, major risks constantly challenge the safety and reliability of these systems. Although operating under different regulatory frameworks, oil & gas companies need to adopt a uniform high-standard response when facing identical problems in corrosion control, crisis management or the prevention of damage by third parties or natural causes.

This forum provides an honest exchange of know-how to new challenges in maintenance and copes with specific regulatory and technical challenges

Gain industry experience on how to assess, identify and prevent main risks in oil & gas pipeline operations

identify best strategies for effective implementation of maintenance strategies

understand crisis and disaster management experience

exchange honest solutions to problems in maintenance and hear about long term planning

Learn about risk management and environmental impact requirements

Find Your reasons to attend

The safety and reliability of hydrocarbon transport infrastructures has a crucial role in the security of hydrocarbon supply world-wide. Issues concerned with pipeline system reliability are a huge concern as existing major pipelines are approaching the end of their lifecycle and new pipelines are developed to replace them. Major risks constantly challenge the safety and reliability of pipeline systems, including human error, natural disasters and terrorist attacks. The repercussions of these risks are vast with potential danger to human life, the environment and the economies of the transited regions. This forum will provide a productive exchange of best practice experiences from leading operators concerning pipeline maintenance and reliability.

YOUR PRESTIGOUS ADVISORY COUNCIL

FIND YOUR REASONS TO ATTEND

in any industry, assets deteriorate over time. equipment wears out, tools need replacing and infrastructure requires maintenance. this matter is especially critical within the oil & Gas Pipeline industry. Many Pipelines are now over 20 years old, and even the best designed and maintained pipeline will become defective as it progresses through its design life. some of them are often in remote locations with extreme environments; some of them are influenced by third-party activities. therefore, regular and effective maintenance to the equipment and infrastructure is vital to the industry.

to help you to understand the drivers of continuous improvement of knowledge, we are proud to present our 3rd Annual Oil & Gas Pipeline Maintenance & Reliability Event.

this event has been carefully designed based on the current market needs in order to discuss the challenges and areas of concern related to oil & Gas Pipelines in the european region.

For the 3rd time senior level experts from the world leading oil & Gas Companies will discuss the major challenges and issues from Corrosion Control strategies, effective Pipeline rehabilitation systems, to third Party Damage Control in both offshore and onshore Pipelines.
