SUMMARY:FREE Passes for 2026 PPIM Conference the 38th Annual Pipeline Pigging & Integrity Management Show Jan 19-Jan 22, 2026 – Houston
DESCRIPTION:\nThis Event Reminder / Save The Date is Sponsored by: State Service, leaders in pipeline integrity services – pipeline pigging and chemical cleaning\n\nFREE Passes for PAH Member – Click the link to register.\nThe industry forum devoted exclusively to pigging for pipeline maintenance and inspection, engineering assessment, repair, risk management and NDE.\nSince 1989, attendance at the annual PPIM Conference and Exhibition in Houston has grown from a few hundred to more than 4,000,\nincluding a commercial exhibition that began with a handful of specialized solution providers and now involves more than 190 companies\nand industry organizations from over 25 countries.\nPPIM is an international forum focused on engineering and technology for onshore & subsea pipeline inspection, assessment and repair, as well as regulatory compliance and Integrity Management Programs.\nBroadly, our primary criteria for selection of papers to be presented at PPIM are:\n*Operator involvement and/or real-world experience;\n*Technical not commercial (and technically sound);\n*Respected author/institutions;\n*Broad appeal and/or novel/new technologies.\nPPIM draws more than 3000 engineering management and field operating personnel from pipeline transmission and distribution companies, service companies and equipment providers concerned with improved operations and integrity management in the transportation of natural gas, crude oil, refined products, LNG, RNG, LPG, CO2 and hydrogen.\nPapers will be published and distributed to the conference delegates in encrypted PDF format. In addition, PPIM conference papers will be incorporated in the SCOPUS® abstract & citation database which is used by leading academic, business, and government institutions. Individual papers will also be freely available to these institutions in order to promote citation and reference.\nSchedule at a Glance:\nCOURSES\nJanuary 19-20, 2026\nCONFERENCE\nJanuary 21-22, 2026\nEXHIBITION\nJanuary 20-22, 2026\nWELCOME\nIn parallel with the demands for greater pipeline safety, reliability, and efficiency – and the explosive growth in the market for technologies\nto help meet those demands – PPIM has evolved to become the industry’s primary forum for reporting new developments and field experience,\nand for showcasing the relevant tools and systems. It is the place where the needs of pipeline operators and the capabilities of service and\nequipment suppliers intersect.\nInformation exchange at PPIM is supported by a range of educational technical courses that take place in advance of the conference and exhibition.\nLed by a distinguished faculty including the world’s top experts, the courses provide a foundation for well-informed inquiry and dialogue among\nindustry colleagues, clients, and contractors.\nWe take great pride in the fact that more than 60% of our conference participants are repeat attenders and more than 90% of our exhibitors\nreturn each year. We hope you’ll be among them at PPIM 2026 and look forward to seeing you there.\n\n\nWhat is the Schedule for the 2026 PPIM Pipeline Pigging and Integrity Conference?\nSUNDAY, JANUARY 18\n10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. – Early move-in (by appointment only)\nMONDAY, JANUARY 19\n7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. – General move-in and installation\nTUESDAY, JANUARY 20\n7:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. – General move-in and installation\n5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. – Opening reception\nWEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21\n9:00 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. – Exhibits open\n4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. – Reception\nTHURSDAY, JANUARY 22\n9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. – Exhibits open\n2:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. – Teardown and move-out\n\nEXHIBITION SCHEDULE\n\nBetween 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. – Tuesday, January 20\nBefore 7:30 p.m. – Wednesday, January 21\nBefore 2:00 p.m. – Thursday, January 22\n\n\nINSTALLATION AND TEARDOWN\nAll exhibitor displays must be completely installed by no later than 3:00 p.m. Tuesday, January 20, 2026.\nExhibitors may not begin dismantling before 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 22, 2026.\nHospitality suites, demonstrations, and related events: Exhibitors agree not to host or schedule activities outside of the exhibition area\nthat are related to conference attendees during official conference hours.\n\n\n2026 Pipeline Integrity Conference\nWednesday, January 21, 2026\n7:00 Breakfast & Registration open\n\n\n\n1.0 Plenary – Opening Session\n\n\n8:00\nOpening remarks\n\n\n8:05\n\n\n205 Ten-Year Analysis of Reportable Pipeline Accidents: Trends, Risk Factors, and Lessons Learned\nAlvaro Rodriguez¹\n¹PHMSA, Oklahoma City, USA\n\n\n\n\n8:35\nYoung Pipeline Professional Annual Recognition Award Presentation\n\n\n8:50\n\n\n186 Talent pipeline – A Comprehensive Review of the Talent Management and Career Journeys in the Pipeline Industry\nMichelle Unger¹, Jan Frowijn², Hena Rehman³\n¹ROSEN, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom,\n²ROSEN, Houston, USA, ³Enbridge, Houston, USA\n\n\n\n\n9:20\n\n\n154 Has the Industry Forgotten How to Weld?\nMichael Rosenfeld¹, Bill Amend¹\n¹RSI Pipeline Solutions, New Albany, USA\n\n\n\n\n9:50\nRefreshment Break\n\n\n\n\n\n10:50\n\n\nState of the Industry Report\nTyler Campbell ¹\n¹Pipeline & Gas Journal, Houston, USA\n\n\n\n\n11:05\n\n\n250 An Improved Fracture Model for Assessing Crack-Like Flaws in Pipelines\nTed Anderson¹, Robert Dodds², Thomas Dessein³\n¹TL Anderson Consulting, Cape Coral, USA, ²Consultant, Longmont, USA, ³Integral Engineering, Edmonton, Canada\n\n\n\n\n11:35\n\n\n231 An Operator’s Practical Approach for Evaluating and Prioritizing ILI-Reported Dents\nRick Wang¹, Connie Meksavanh¹, Tao Hu¹, Jaspal Deol¹\n¹TC Energy, Calgary, Canada\n\n\n\n\n12:05\n\n\n124 Advances in API 1163 Level 3 ILI Validations\nJed Ludlow¹,Jason Skow², Ryan Stewart²\n¹T.D.
