The global summit for polymer materials in onshore and offshore oil and gas engineering
AMI’s Oil & Gas conferences have gone virtual for this year! With a successful track record of running Oil and Gas events across 3 continents for more than 10 years now, we are confident we will deliver a fantastically beneficial event to all involved.
The free-to-attend global virtual summit will be held over three days, from 1pm GMT, and will cover the latest technical developments and market trends in the O&G sector.
Topics on the
agenda include the over-riding industry need to control cost in terms of
infrastructure and equipment investment, installation and maintenance, as well
as ways to minimise risk during the development, qualification and application
of new non-metallic materials and components.
The virtual conference sessions are complemented by access to a virtual booth area where you will have the opportunity to explore and interact with suppliers - all from the safety of your own home or office.
