Why I'm Going:?

This is where one can learn about pipeline safety, reliability, and efficiency solutions from the industry leaders.?I will be there on Wednesday the 2nd, speaking with experts about guided ultrasonic monitoring of pipe systems (or GUMPS? for short) by?Detect Technologies.?And also share with the industry how nanomaterials like those from?Alabastron Technologies?can detect scale in their clients' pipelines before its actually occurs! And when a subsea pipeline or riser repair is a better option than replacement (which is usually the case), I will be speaking with clients about Connector Subsea Solutions pipeline repair solutions.
