Pipeline Industry: Discover What Lies Ahead Under the Trump Administration
Insightful discussions on pipeline construction and corrosion challenges, presented by Pipeline & Gas Journal and Underground Infrastructure. Held in conjunction with UIC on Wednesday, March 5.
- We’re launching an exciting program – two dedicated tracks focused on the most critical topics in energy pipeline construction and corrosion.
- Pipeline company officials will discuss their perspectives on construction activities under the new Trump administration. Learn about the latest regulations, green energy initiatives, and hydrogen pipeline construction.
Here’s what you can expect so far (times subject to change):
Energy Pipelines: Construction
8-9:25 a.m. Introductory Panel: Politics & Regulation
Moderated by Mike Reed, Editor-in-Chief, Pipeline & Gas Journal
Part I: Rules and regulations continued to change, evolving at the Federal and state levels. What can pipeline owning companies and contractors expect when planning for new projects in both the near and long term?
Part II: Kenneth Medlock, Rice, Baker Institute
Discussed will be the impacts on the pipeline construction industry after the recent presidential and congressional elections. Other political fallout will be considered.
9:30-10:55 a.m. Contractors Panel: Changing Face of Pipeline Construction in Wake of Green Energy Initiatives and Modern Construction Challenges
Moderated by Rob Riess, Henkels & McCoy, VP Pipeline Division
These panelists will provide their perspectives on how they are modifying their construction practices due to environmental pressures and challenges. Also, many contractors are seeking ways they can build pipelines in a more friendly environmental manner and consideration of public concerns.
11-11:25 a.m. Future of Hydrogen Construction Outlook: Challenges, Limitations, Potential Moderator: Michael Reed, Pipeline & Gas Journal
Speaker:Jeff Sutherland, Engineer, Baker Hughes
Building hydrogen pipelines is seen as an answer to alternative energy sources for oil and gas. However, hydrogen as a fuel source is laden with challenges in and of itself including construction costs and safety factors. This session explores the future of hydrogen initiatives.
11:30 a.m.- 1:30 p.m. EXHIBITS/LUNCH
1:30-3 p.m. Owners Panel: State of Construction Plans, Challenges and Capital Investment
Building energy product pipelines in 2025 presents a litany of challenges. Working through the permitting and design processes are fraught with inhibitors from regulatory to anti-oil groups intent upon a strategy to block pipeline construction as a way to end oil and gas consumption. Yet, the vital need for energy products remains fixed around the world.
