THE FIRST MIDSTREAM-FOCUSED CONGRESS FOR
UTILIZING FIELD DATA TO IMPROVE SAFETY, FLOW
CONTROL AND REVENUE GENERATION
The automation of field data collection and control for pipelines and
midstream facilities has enabled operators to significantly improve
safety, reduce downtime, more precisely control flow and accurately
allocate royalties – with millions of dollars in benefits. However, to further
automate manual operations and exploit the full benefits of data, further
technical challenges must be overcome, from security and integration to
instrumentation selection and communications design.
The inaugural Midstream Automation, Instrumentation & Control
Congress 2015 will deliver over 20 case studies, each tackling a critical
challenge faced by midstream operators across the continent. From
integrating new control systems and instrumentation with legacy devices
and designing a robust communications infrastructure to implementing
HMI and alarm management best practices, this is the first and only
vendor-neutral forum to share real-life case studies from experienced
midstream operators.
Thanks to the advice of dozens of midstream operator decision-makers,
which helped to forge this meeting agenda, attendees can be confident
that every minute will be spent focussed on solutions that will leverage
field data and automation best practices to measurably improve safety,
reduce downtime, optimize flow and inevitably increase revenue.
•	 Operator Led: Each discussion will
be led by a neutral case study from
an experienced midstream company,
delivering real lessons that can be
swiftly translated to your operations
•	 Midstream Dedicated: Best
practices will be identified
specifically for automation, SCADA
and control professionals working
in the midstream sector – no
vague cross-industry presentations
designed for large tradeshows
•	 Vendor-Neutral: Midstream
companies are particularly excited
about utilizing an open forum where
operators can talk honestly and
benchmark instrumentation from
competing vendors
•	 Expert-Designed Program: Every
agenda topic has been selected
based on multiple requests by
midstream industry leaders. This
ensures every minute is spent
addressing the very latest challenges
faced by operators
•	 Focussed On The Value Of Data:
Case studies will focus on the core
challenge of rapidly and reliably
communicating monitoring data
from the field to measurement and
control as quickly as possible to
improve the accuracy of business
decisions and optimize flow control
•	 Deliver A Measurable Return On
Investment: Presentations will
also unveil the business case for
automation, comparing initial
investment with the medium
term operational savings to justify
technology adoption back in
the boardroom

DECISION MAKING AUDIENCE
Midstream attendees are primarily decision makers looking to learn from
other operators. Every conversation is valuable and there is no searching
through endless crowds in search of the next customer
EXCLUSIVE NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES
We work with dozens of operators across the US to identify the agenda topics
and vendor categories they need to hear from. We allocate stalls and speaking
time only when suppliers can offer solutions the audience is looking for, so you
know your next customer is in the room
SHARE YOUR SUCCESS
As an operator-led congress, speakers will be delivering unbiased reviews
of equipment currently installed across their pipelines and facilities – good
or bad. If the feedback is good, solution providers need to be in the room to
capitalise upon the moment and make the next sell. If the feedback is poor,
suppliers must be ready to update the audience on their latest work to improve
the reliability of their devices and reassert confidence in their solutions
If you have a successful case study to share with operators, get in touch to
apply for information on speaking opportunities and stall allocations:

  • 2. www.midstream-automation-2015.com (1) 800 721 3915 info@american-business-conferences.com THE FIRST MIDSTREAM-FOCUSED CONGRESS FOR UTILIZING FIELD DATA TO IMPROVE SAFETY, FLOW CONTROL AND REVENUE GENERATION The automation of field data collection and control for pipelines and midstream facilities has enabled operators to significantly improve safety, reduce downtime, more precisely control flow and accurately allocate royalties – with millions of dollars in benefits. However, to further automate manual operations and exploit the full benefits of data, further technical challenges must be overcome, from security and integration to instrumentation selection and communications design. The inaugural Midstream Automation, Instrumentation & Control Congress 2015 will deliver over 20 case studies, each tackling a critical challenge faced by midstream operators across the continent. From integrating new control systems and instrumentation with legacy devices and designing a robust communications infrastructure to implementing HMI and alarm management best practices, this is the first and only vendor-neutral forum to share real-life case studies from experienced midstream operators. Thanks to the advice of dozens of midstream operator decision-makers, which helped to forge this meeting agenda, attendees can be confident that every minute will be spent focussed on solutions that will leverage field data and automation best practices to measurably improve safety, reduce downtime, optimize flow and inevitably increase revenue. • Operator Led: Each discussion will be led by a neutral case study from an experienced midstream company, delivering real lessons that can be swiftly translated to your operations • Midstream Dedicated: Best practices will be identified specifically for automation, SCADA and control professionals working in the midstream sector – no vague cross-industry presentations designed for large tradeshows • Vendor-Neutral: Midstream companies are particularly excited about utilizing an open forum where operators can talk honestly and benchmark instrumentation from competing vendors • Expert-Designed Program: Every agenda topic has been selected based on multiple requests by midstream industry leaders. This ensures every minute is spent addressing the very latest challenges faced by operators • Focussed On The Value Of Data: Case studies will focus on the core challenge of rapidly and reliably communicating monitoring data from the field to measurement and control as quickly as possible to improve the accuracy of business decisions and optimize flow control • Deliver A Measurable Return On Investment: Presentations will also unveil the business case for automation, comparing initial investment with the medium term operational savings to justify technology adoption back in the boardroom VENUE INFORMATION: Register By Friday March 27, 2015 WHYISTHISCONGRESSUNIQUE?
