Process control and automation technology to feature at AOG 2016

With a string of world-class Australian LNG projects making the transition from the construction to operational phase, it is timely that process control and automation technology will again feature highly when the annual Australasian Oil & Gas Exhibition and Conference (AOG) is staged in Perth from 24 to 26 February 2016.

Celebrating its 35th year, AOG 2016 will feature a theme of ‘Collaboration’ with over 100 experts from leading companies providing input on how industry, government and other key stakeholders should continue to work closely together to reduce costs and improve productivity.

Instrumentation, control and automation, as well as non-destructive testing (NDT) and condition monitoring (CM) asset integrity will feature in separate specialist zones at AOG 2016, with strong content support being provided by Instrumentation Control and Automation Australia Inc. (IICA) and the Australian Institute for Non-Destructive Testing (AINDT).

These zones will include exhibits from the leading global names in process control, automation, NDT and CM asset integrity.

“We are really pleased to be continuing our strong focus on these key areas at AOG 2016,” said Diversified Communications AOG Event Director Bill Hare.

“The Instrumentation Control and Automation zone and NDT & CM Asset Integrity zone are always very popular areas within the exhibition hall and we expect that this may be even more so next year — with LNG projects on both the east and west coasts of Australia rapidly transitioning to an operational phase.

“We are very grateful for our close working partnership with both IICAA and AINDT, and their assistance in ensuring that the content for the Instrumentation Control and Automation zone and NDT & CM Asset Integrity zone at AOG 2016 will be timely and valuable.”

Registrations are now open for AOG 2016, which will once again be one of the key global oil and gas industry gatherings.

“AOG’s record and reputation for being the best attended oil and gas exhibition and conference in Australia will ensure that the event will again attract strong support, both locally and internationally,” Hare added.

Significant international participation — including exhibitors from over 25 countries — has already been confirmed, with the 2016 event featuring a range of major international pavilions and AOG once again playing a critical role in the transfer of knowledge between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
