The Unique Online Summit for Pipeline Operators and Service & Technology Providers
Following the lessons learned from two editions of the online ptc the organizing EITEP Institute has developed a new online event concept offering extended knowledge transfer and networking features.
The 4th Virtual Pipeline Summit (VPS) will provide a comprehensive overview and competitive technology showcase of a spectrum of problems and solutions related to the "Decarbonization of the Pipeline Industry".
The Virtual Pipeline Summit is organized by EITEP Institute, organizer of the Pipeline Technology Conference (ptc) and publisher of the Pipeline Technology Journal (ptj).
The Virtual Pipeline Summit features the same essential success factors as a a face-to-face event.
Extensive conference program with lectures and discussions on current challenges in day-to-day operations.

Advanced networking features for all participants and in-depth interaction with speakers and sponsors.

2020 will be remembered as the year the Covid 19 pandemic changed the world. But there was also a conspicuous growing momentum behind the campaign to address the longer-term global challenge of climate change. More and more countries made pledges to achieve "net zero" emissions.
The entire oil and gas industry is undergoing a unique transformation. The industry has already set ambitious emissions-related targets to maintain its operating authority during and after the transition to a climate-neutral energy system. Unlike previous industry disruptions, however, "decarbonization" will bring entirely new rules, challenges, and opportunities.
Companies that act now will not only lead the way to climate neutrality by 2050 - they will also reposition themselves for potential commercial success for the years beyond.
The 4th Virtual Pipeline Summit will shed light on the challenges and opportunities that decarbonization will bring to the industry.
