The oil and gas sector operates with complex, high-risk assets that require continuous focus on safety, reliability, and efficiency. The Asset Integrity Conference at AIAC West Africa 2026 will provide a platform to share lessons learned, case studies, and strategies for maintaining asset integrity to help companies prevent failures and enhance performance.
With challenges such as corrosion, fatigue, aging infrastructure, and cybersecurity threats, the conference will bring together global and regional experts to explore emerging risks, regulatory updates, and technological innovations. Sessions will highlight how digital tools, AI, IoT, and predictive maintenance can transform monitoring, decision-making, and cost efficiency.
By convening engineers, operators, regulators, and solution providers, the conference fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange that strengthen risk mitigation and operational reliability. Asset integrity is not just technical - it is a business, safety, and operational priority. This event creates a vital space for learning and innovation, supporting safer, more efficient, and sustainable oil and gas operations.
