Effective strategies and technologies to mitigate risks, boost capacity and improve operational excellence

2022

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS

HEAR WHAT THE EXPERTS HAVE TO SAY

EVENT OVERVIEW:

Asset integrity and process safety have a close relationship and are crucial because they help predict and avoid incidents beforehand and suggest the best course of action for success. Preserving optimal performance levels is crucial to preserving profitability in the capital-intensive oil, gas, and petrochemical industries. It is always critical to have safe and smooth operations of oil and gas facilities and installations, from oil fields and offshore platforms to pipelines and refineries.

The region’s premier conference brought together leading experts and professionals for discussing the trends, challenges and most recent solutions in the key areas for the industry, such as corrosion control, predictive and preventive maintenance, hazard and operability study (HAZOP), risk-based inspection (RBI), and digital transformation for process safety and asset integrity.

This year’s edition hosted in Abu Dhabi, brought together 20 speakers and over 90 industry professionals from the region. The exhibition floor served as a key networking area for experts looking to procure and explore the latest solutions to improve the asset integrity and process safety for the oil and gas operations.
