Pipeline owners and operators are increasingly leveraging data by moving more workloads to the edge, but with increase edge comes an increased attack surface. Recent headlines are a clear indicator that the bad actor sees the oil and gas sector as a target for sophisticated cyberattacks. Given the increase in digital connectivity, this has elevated the importance of cyber readiness and shines a light on the importance of the safety and security of the assets. 

During this panel discussion, experts will discuss strategies for preparing for, responding to and recovering from cyberattacks as a part of any business continuity plan.

• Understanding the risks associated across the expanding oil and gas attack surface
• Evaluating the cybersecurity needs to support modern and legacy SCADA platforms across oil and gas facilities
• Best practice guidance for leaders to support a cybersecurity program that focused on the safety and security of critical assets

Since its inception in 2005, Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) has been an integral part of emission reduction in the oil and gas industry. Over that time, OGI cameras have been the center of the LDAR and EHS markets as the flagship technology for emissions mitigation. Beginning in 2008 with the Alternate Work Practice and most recently as the BSER for NSPS OOOOb and Appendix K of the March 6, 2024, U.S. EPA regulation, OGI technology has proven to be an efficient and effective means of regulatory compliance while also empowering oil and gas operators to increase safety and enhance productivity. The newest in OGI cameras have advanced features that help users meet these stringent regulatory requirements and increase LDAR inspection efficacy. In this webinar, FLIR Global Business Development Manager, Craig O’Neill will discuss how the NSPS OOOOb elevates the use of Optical Gas Imaging for leak detection.

Who Should Attend: Air Quality Professionals, Compliance Officers, Directors of Compliance, EHS Professionals, Environmental Professionals, Fugitive Emissions Professionals, HSE Professionals, LDAR Professionals, Maintenance Managers, OGI Technicians, Operations Managers, Platform Managers, Reliability Professionals

Pipeline & Gas Journal’s annual survey of pipeline construction activity provides a unique snapshot of project mileage in development or under construction on a global and regional basis, along with insights into key market drivers influencing midstream investment decisions in the new year.

In this webcast, Editor-in-Chief Michael Reed will share key findings from P&GJ’s 2024 Global Pipeline Construction Report, discuss the outlook for midstream, and review some of the key infrastructure projects that are now underway on a region-by-region basis.

In addition, attendees will have an opportunity to participate in this interactive webcast by submitting questions in real time during a live Q&A session.

The global energy sector heavily relies on oil and gas pipelines, which are vital for modern society. However, these pipelines face increasing vulnerabilities, including the risk of sabotage and disruptions. Thus, an Emergency Pipeline Repair System (EPRS) is urgently needed to ensure energy security and uninterrupted supply. This webcast highlights the importance of EPRS in safeguarding energy infrastructure.

Unplanned incidents damaging pipelines have severe environmental, safety, and reputational consequences. Pipeline operators need confidence in their emergency response plans. Having ready isolation and repair equipment can save valuable time should a failure occur. The EPRS's primary goal is to swiftly and safely repair pipelines, minimizing environmental and economic impacts.

This webcast emphasizes the benefits of investing in and maintaining an EPRS. Time-saving benefits come from having readily available equipment for emergencies. Technologies like inline isolation plugs, hot tapping, line plugging, and mechanical connectors will be discussed. These strategic investments can be used alone or together to respond rapidly to emergencies.

As global energy demand rises, so does the risk of pipeline failures, which can have significant commercial and energy supply consequences. An EPRS serves as a safety net, ensuring a resilient and responsive energy supply chain in the face of unforeseen challenges.

Safeguarding pipelines against corrosion, ensuring their integrity, safety, and alignment with industry benchmarks and rules, presents an increasingly intricate challenge.

Pipeline corrosion experts in 2023 encounter a range of difficulties that once seemed minor but have now evolved into daily concerns. Factors like heightened chemical content in pipelines, steam utilization, elevated pressures and temperatures, fire safety, sour gas, and emissions have all taken center stage in the minds of industry professionals.

This webinar will delve into the cascading impacts of these challenges on corrosion prevention, specifically focusing on how Electrical Isolation Kits are affected and strategies to surmount these obstacles.

The topics covered in this webinar include:

• More Severe Media Conditions: Encompassing Sour Gas, Steam, CO2, CO, Ammonia, and more. Consequences include Electrical Bridging, Permeation, Material Deterioration, and Heightened Corrosion.
• Elevated Pressures and Temperatures: Material compatibility must extend to a wider spectrum of pressures and temperatures.
• Emerging Markets: LNG, EOR, CCUS, Hydrogen, Natural Gas all bring distinct challenges.
• Heightened Emphasis on Greenhouse Gas Reduction: Intensified regulations and emissions focus.
• Persistent Challenges: Installation, Corrosion at Ring Type Joints, Permeation, Material Selection, Safety, and more.
