1 28-29 March 2018 ADNEC Exhibition Center Abu Dhabi Seminar: Managerial and technical life-cycle of a pipeline system Within the frame of 3rd PVPC EXPO 2018 ORGANIZED BY Euro Institute for Information a Pipeline Technology Conference e v e n t Your Course Director Heinz Watzka Positions: Managing Director Technical Services, Open Grid Europe (Germany s largest pipeline operator) Vice President Maintenance, Ruhrgas Technical Manager, TAL Oil Pipeline Project Engineer, ILF Consulting Engineers

2 INTRODUCTION The course director Heinz Watzka will lead you through the 2-days seminar and will share his experience from managing oil and gas pipeline operators in Germany/Europe. He will be supported by different technical experts who will provide a deeper insight into state-of-the-art technologies in operation and new developments in the international pipeline market. The seminar starts with an overview on the managerial and technical life-cycle of a pipeline system from the very beginning to the final daily operational works taking into account the fact that some German high-pressure pipeline are now operated for more than 100 years. The following lectures provide details about state-of-the-art internal and external leak detection technologies and other specific pipeline safety measures. The aim of the second day is to give the participants a comprehensive overview on different inline inspection technolgies and well-approved solutions for the comprehensive storage, assessment and analysis of relevant data in a PIMS. The seminar closes with an overview about different repair measures taking into account both safety and economic aspects. WHO SHOULD ATTEND Engineers, technicians and management staff from pipeline operators Personnel from authorities or certification bodies involved with pipeline monitoring, inspection, integrity management and repair works Engineering consultants in all fields of pipeline operation and maintenance QUICK FACTS Language: ENGLISH Networking lunch
