The technical program covers pipeline integrity management, in-line inspection (ILI), engineering assessments, geohazards, crack and dent assessment, seam-weld threats, repairs, and hydrogen transportation. Plenary topics include operator guidelines and specifications, technical knowledge management, assessing existing pipelines for hydrogen service, selective seam-weld corrosion, and PHMSA MAOP reconfirmation requirements. Parallel technical tracks address landslide monitoring and pipeline strain; crack characterization and management; ILI applications, analysis, and verification; hard spots; dent assessment; engineering assessment; hydrogen transportation; integrity management; difficult-to-inspect pipelines; materials verification; and repair technologies. Presentations include work on ILI run comparisons, risk-informed assessment choices under the PHMSA Gas Mega Rule, dent engineering critical assessment, non-intrusive pipeline assessment, material testing, and repair qualification. A panel addresses PHMSA repair criteria for hazardous-liquid and gas-transmission pipelines.

The featured presentation and Q&A address sanctions risks in the maritime industry. The discussion is led by a lawyer whose listed experience includes maritime sanctions enforcement, export controls, anti-money-laundering matters, and government investigations. His representative experience includes leading the seizure and forfeiture prosecution of a North Korean cargo vessel suspected of sanctions violations; coordinating maritime sanctions enforcement with the U.S. Coast Guard and Navy; and advising on sanctions and export-control policies, voluntary disclosures to OFAC, BIS, and DOJ, and supply-chain and counterparty risk assessments.
