From 28-30 March 2012 the Pipeline Technology Conference (ptc) will take place for the 7th time. We have always tried to establish an open dialogue between scientists, engineers, planners, designers, technology suppliers and operators and involved politics and the press where it made sense.

During the years, we talked about a wide range of outstanding projects and many innovations, new technologies and developments. The steadily increasing number of participants from non-European countries shows that European know-how, technological excellence and well-proven technical standards are demanded more and more – in particular in the context of decades of trouble-free pipeline operation and life-cycle extension strategies.

Since 2006, the main focus of the Pipeline Technology Conference (ptc) is on latest technologies and new developments in the international pipeline industry. Besides an overview on international key projects, new construction methods and innovative materials, ptc 2012 will provide interesting insights into new O&M, ILI and integrity management field studies and technologies.

The practical nature of ptc was always based on the cooperation with our technical and scientific supporters and on a top-class international Advisory Committee. This year, the Advisory Committee has been further strengthened and is now co-chaired by Mr. Heinz Watzka from Open Grid Europe.

All this leads to the fact that, after 6 years of being part of HANNOVER MESSE trade show, ptc needs more space to keep pace with the increasing number of attendees and exhibitors. For the first time, it will now have its own exhibition hall and conference hotel.

The conference will feature lectures and presentations on all aspects surrounding oil, gas and product pipeline systems.
