Welcome to the Pipeline Technology Conference (ptc)

From 12-14 March 2018 Europe’s leading pipeline conference and exhibition, the Pipeline Technology Conference, will take place for the 13th time. The 13th ptc offers again opportunities for operators as well as technology and service providers to exchange latest onshore and offshore technologies and new developments supporting the energy strategies world-wide. More than 600 delegates are expected to attend the 13th ptc in Berlin. The conference will be held next year in parallel to the 2nd “Pipe and Sewer Conference”.

The umbrella of both events will be the “Pipeline-Pipe-Sewer-Technology Conference & Exhibition” (PPST).

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

I have visited ptc 2017 and it amazed me to see all these major companies and a huge number of international operators in one venue. Over the years, you can see old and new companies, new technologies being presented, and knowledge continuously being shared in this event. It's a great place to get an overall outlook on what is happening in the pipeline industry.

Hamad Al-Dhamashi

Manager - SABIC

I think there is a lot what the US can learn from Europe. Europe has been doing that longer than the US and doing this in heavily dense areas. I think the Europeans have been better in engaging the local popular citizens on the importance of pipelines and that is something that the US is frankly taking for granted. I would like to see that Americans come and enjoy the ptc and to be here for the Discussion.

Chairman and CEO - Nouveau

It was my honor to be at the ptc and to share our new technologies with the community. This is the right place for oil and gas pipeline operators to discuss technical advancements and innovations.

Dr. Soonho Jeong

Team Leader - Daehan Oil Pipeline Corporation

The ptc conference has become the biggest and most important pipeline conference in Europe. I have long time missed a big pipeline event in Europe that could compete with IPC in Calgary and IBP in Rio.

Excellent platform for knowledge & technology sharing from pipeline operators, consultants and technology provider.

In my eyes, the ptc is a great platform for exchanging and gaining up-to-date information, arguments and opinions on pipeline issues. It's not only the excellent choice of presentations and the high-level attendance but especially the good atmosphere what makes the ptc a place to be for the pipeline industry.

Dr. Nicolai Ritter

This is my 1st time in the pipeline technology conference. I think it’s a very good opportunity to meet people and share experience and I think I will attend it every year. It is very useful to see other business and technology partners. It is really a good gain for everybody.

Fouad Mohamed

Construction Engineer - Kuwait Oil Company

I always enjoy communication and excellent dialogs to give ideas and benefit from experience from the global pipeline family. Even BIL as Germany`s first construction enquiry internet platform will gain from project experiences in other countries. In the context of pipeline safety we are all obliged to focus on “best-in-class” experiences.

Jens Focke

CEO - BIL - Federal German Construction Enquiry Portal

IoT technologies are demonstrating real economic impact to improve integrity and safety of pipeline operation. However, at the same time, the lack of operational Cyber Security capabilities puts breaks on innovation and new business opportunities. I believe that pipeline industry like no other, has tremendous potential to harvest benefits of IoT and bring cyber threats under control. Big thanks to ptc and EITEP for leading these important discussions.
