| Subject: | Global macroeconomic changes are causing the maps of energy supply and demand to be redrawn. In conjunction with high oil prices, this trend has generated a remarkable increase in pipeline construction and pipeline-related activities. This is not just a quantitative change, but also a qualitative one: the technical requirements are ever more demanding, as pipelines are required to operate under harsher conditions of service. For the pipe coating industry, the challenge is therefore to keep pace with these developments.
Pipeline Coating 2009 provides a venue to debate the latest developments. World experts are giving papers at this event including TOTAL, EXXONMOBIL, PETROBRAS, BREDEROSHAW and many other leading companies. The programme covers markets and pipe coating technology trends worldwide. |
