There is an increasing demand, in the Africa pipeline market, for sophisticated and advanced systems and materials to cater for the entire pipeline project. IQPC has been approached by an outstanding amount of organisations to run a dedicated Africa Pipeline Summit 2012 conference in South Africa.
Global Planned Oil and Gas Pipelines Industry to 2013: Investment Opportunities, Analysis and Forecasts of All Planned Pipelines", is a report from GlobalData that offers comprehensive information on the global pipeline industry. It provides in-depth source of information on all planned crude oil, petroleum product and natural gas pipelines. The report also provides comparison of pipeline companies, countries and regions across the globe.
According to the report, driven by increasing demand for oil and gas, Asia Pacific is expected to witness the largest addition of pipelines in the world. It is expected to undergo a network addition of approximately 42,000 Km, ahead of North America with close to 32,000 Km and Middle East and Africa with over 21,000 Km network.
Demand for refined fuels in the region is outstripping supply. This is driven by strong economic growth demand in South Africa, increased diesel demand for gas fired power plants, and spiked diesel use for industrial and domestic generators to meet the shortfall of supplied electricity. A recent report showed that in the absence of new pipelines, there would need to be one 40,000 liter petrol truck leaving South Africa's ports for inland areas every 5 minutes, clogging the nation’s highways. In response to this demand, South Africa’s state owned transportation company, Transnet, is building its first refined fuels pipeline in 40 years from Durban to Johannesburg. Privately owned Petroline is planning to deliver product through its pipeline from Maputo to Nelspruit. South Africa’s parastatal oil and gas company, PetroSA, has approval to build its first crude oil refinery, expected to produce about 200,000 barrels of fuel a day and come on stream in 2015. Namibia’s parastatal, Namcor, has begun planning for its first refining capacity, a medium sized oil refinery, Bechtel has begun construction of the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) train in Angola, and several refineries are reportedly under development in Mozambique.
Another new technology being assessed for use in the region is the conversion of stranded gas from regional oil fields to CNG and transported by ship to market. This, in addition to the CBM development in Botswana and the development of an LNG regasification plant in South Africa could mean the realization of the long awaited prospect of an expanded regional natural gas pipeline infrastructure. Given the relative lack of experience in these areas by local firms, global technology and consulting firms will be well positioned.
This summit will be the regions only conference dedicated to the technologies in place that help design, sustain and construct cost-effective, reliable, oil and gas pipelines.
The content of this event will be researched with the help of regional and international experts from renowned pipeline leaders who have successfully solved real challenges with large pipeline projects Africa Pipeline Summit Africa 2012 will address key issues such as: Operation and Maintenance, Planning and Construction, Standards and Regulations, Environmental Risks, Public Perception, Product Pipelines and many more.
Hear what attendees have said about Process Safety in Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals in previous years:
The diversity of speakers and topic was excellent and very useful information on HSE subjects was delivered
Good range of speakers: users, consultants, systems. Therefore a good formation for attendees to develop their process safety management
These events are not to be missed
This conference provided an excellent opportunity to exchange strategic HSE initiatives in an open and relaxed environment
